Pulse Magazine is a student lifestyle publication covering culture, creativity, and campus life. I contributed selected spreads and illustrations across multiple issues—each one offering a chance to explore layout, typography, and storytelling in print.
My role focused on designing individual features and sections that aligned with the tone of each article. These pieces reflect my love of editorial design and my interest in using layout, color, and hierarchy to shape how stories are experienced on the page.
ILLUSTRATION:
The Bechdel Test

I created an illustration for an article about The Bechdel test, a measure of women's representation in film. I illustrated a girl's movie night featuring some of film's popular female leads.
EDITORIAL LAYOUT:
The Filtered Face

For this spotlight spread of Central Washington University's student-run lifestyle magazine, PULSE, I created an editorial on the effect photo-filters have on our identity in the age of social media. Collaborating with a journalist and our photography director, I designed a five-page spread about the mental impact of changing to meet unrealistic standards influenced by social media.


TYPOGRAPHY:
Redefining Rape

The photo-illustration for Redefining Rape was a recent nominee for the Society of Professional Journalists 2019 "Mark of Excellence" Awards. This issue won Best Feature Magazine at the 2019 ACP Conference in La Jolla, CA.
With Zachn Schultz's photography and Matthew Conrardy's creative direction, I created a series of photo-illustrations and hand-lettered pieces.
