As a graphic designer at Saks, one of my responsibilities was designing seasonal shopping books. For Fall 2023, we partnered with our art directors to bring a relatable and real-world feeling to our photography and design. We swapped out our usual serif font for a graphic sans-serif that made the book feel fresh and exciting.
I was tasked with designing the “Fall Essentials” portion of the book. This section focused on core staple items that the customer should integrate into their fall wardrobe.

For the launch of the Citysole sneaker, Coach requested illustrations and posters detailing the functions of the shoe. I was commissioned to create the illustrations and poster designs. I created outlines of the shoe that eventually went on to be the final illustrations used on the marketing posters. The final posters were displayed in Coach stores all around the country.

For Fall 2022, I was tasked with designing branding for the Saks Men’s Sneaker Campaign. The campaign features photographs of each participating brand’s sneaker alongside links to shop for the shoes. The concept for the photography was to place the shoes in natural settings where the customers would likely wear the shoes.

Coach has worked on numerous collaborations with Disney. For this collaboration, Coach featured characters from One Hundred and One Dalmatians, Dumbo, and Bambi. We were tasked with creating branding that was equal parts Coach and Disney for the campaign launch. To do so, we created stickers of Disney characters using vintage-inspired Coach colors. From there, we created unique compositions with stickers around our usual branding materials.
