Schools do amazing work for youth. I help reflect educational missions and community personality through murals, interior signage, and spirit wear.

Interior Murals

Principal Sykes wanted to refresh the school’s interior space. This project aimed to showcase the school’s magnet theme of being a Center for Global Studies and better reflect the diverse student population. The murals are used to welcome people into the space with friendly energy. They also serve as a launching point to share how the school uses its magnet theme in education.


The project started with sketches of students engaging in activities that felt current and embraced the variety of learning opportunities embraced by the school. 

The color palette used the school’s logo as a starting point, yet pushed the possibilities with hue and saturation. Once the palette felt good to the team, the central colors were elevated, and the remaining colors were delegated to supporting roles. Representation matters, and it was crucial that the palette both complemented and contrasted a range of skin tones.


The type was both hand-lettered and utilized a font with a hand-drawn quality to express enthusiasm and the imperfect nature of growth.

Interior Signage

Geared for a slightly older audience, Principal Feldman and the school leadership envisioned a visual representation of their global learning theme. Illustrations feature real examples for the school community that reflect students involvement in the domains of global competence; Investigate the World, Communicate Ideas, Recognize Perspectives, and Take Action.

Unique, illustrative imagery helps the school community, volunteers, and clubs stand out from the crowd. No AI was used in the making of these images.
