In 2022, I placed first overall in the United States at the Adobe Certified Professional National Championship, earning the opportunity to compete at the World Championship level.
About This Project
For the National Championship, I had the opportunity to design for Limbitless Solutions, an organization dedicated to creating 3D-printed prosthetics for children and adults.
The brief challenged designers to create a promotional poster within a limited time frame using only provided assets, including a comprehensive brand guidelines packet. Working within these constraints emphasized clarity, efficiency, and strong visual decision-making.
Innovation was the driving force behind this design, reflecting the mission of Limbitless itself. By thoughtfully incorporating every supplied element, I aimed to create a composition that felt fast-paced, powerful, and fun, capturing the energy of a video game while appealing to a younger audience.
World Championship
This poster was created for The Ocean Agency, an organization dedicated to protecting marine ecosystems through storytelling and advocacy. The focus of the design is the rapid decline in coral health, highlighting the urgent impact of climate change on the world’s oceans.
The brief called for a visually compelling message that could communicate both beauty and loss. The design aims to capture attention quickly while encouraging viewers to pause, reflect, and consider the role human action plays in the future of ocean health.
My main goal was to have the Coral Reef visually reflect something we all know very well– Earth– to show just how important these ecosystems are on a wider scale.

My experiences at both the National Championship in Texas and the World Championship in California were life-changing. I found an amazing community of designers who were just as passionate as I was. This experience not only solidified that design was my chosen path, but also showed me that hard work truly does pay off. I look back on this time fondly and strive every day to continue creating impactful designs!
