Graphic designer at Academia Antarctica, pitching research-inspired logo concepts and creating accessible visual identities for cultural and conservation work.

Message

At Academia Antarctica, I designed and pitched three logo proposals inspired by parts of Antarctica the nonprofit will research, while keeping clear records of project images and research.

For University of the Arctic, I created high-concept branding for its 25-year anniversary, including a visual language, editable posters, templates, and illustrations. I also designed promotional materials and translated complex research into a clear, accessible pitch.

Through my work at University of the Arctic, I designed gift bags and jewelry box sets drawing on the history of jewelry and the Arctic, and coordinated production teams around budget and environmental goals. I also founded Sancta, where I maintain an evolving visual identity and use accessibility-first approaches to social media.
