The Manual
For my Senior Capstone, I collaborated with Patrick Smith from C2 Creative Studio, a brand strategy and design team based in Chicago that partners with organizations to deliver impactful creative solutions. I designed a comprehensive Intern Manual to onboard and guide future interns through C2’s creative process. This resource introduces interns to studio expectations, client collaboration, and best practices for organizing creative work—including how to name files, set up project folders, and stay consistent across projects.
To complement the manual, I created a short animated video that serves as an engaging introduction, welcoming interns to the studio and giving them a preview of what the manual includes.
Vision to Reality
From Vision to Reality was the official senior capstone exhibition for graduating graphic design and painting students at Dominican University. This showcase marked the culmination of months of creative exploration, research, and production.
Additionally, I developed three redesigned versions of the C2 Creative Studio logo, each reflecting the studio’s creativity and adaptability.
The Manual showcased a custom intern onboarding guide for C2 Creative Studio, designed to help future interns navigate real client projects. The exhibit featured a 4x6 ft wood-mounted display, a printed 8x5 in manual, a 13x19 in poster, branded stickers, and six framed manuals for a bold wall presentation.
Design elements from the manual extended into the space, creating visual cohesion. A TV looped an animation that brought the guide to life, adding a dynamic, interactive layer. The installation highlighted clarity, functionality, and my passion for clean, purposeful design..
