I experimented a lot with programs like photoshop and illustrator during quarantine. Here's a few of the creations I made.
I invested in a personal embroidery machine my junior year of college. I've loved having the creative freedom to create my own designs and make fun gifts for friends. Here's a few of the designs I've made!
This was my college house for three years. I lived with the same four roommates and we adopted the name "Nut House" due to living on Walnut Ave and being a pretty popular place for fellow lacrosse members to come hangout when they needed a space away from home. We were a pretty goofy bunch and the name fit well. We all made Nut House a big part of our personality and it definitely played a crucial role in our college experience. This design used sweatshirts with thread matching the icon red door. I also added "951", the house's address, on the sleeve.
This was a design I made for custom sweatshirts for a friend's family Christmas gift. The "V House" has been known as the house. Anyone and everyone is always welcome to come enjoy a safe space and the company is always great. Although I joined the friend group later in life they still have always been extremely welcoming and loving and I was so happy to be able to express our gratitude with this gift.
Belwo is the corresponding initials of the V family. The capital initials are parents and the lower case indicate their three children.
This is my family's trucking business logo that I put on some sweatpants and sweatshirts for my family and the drivers of the company.
These animal designs were some of my first projects. For Christmas one year I took the goofiest pictures I could find of my family's pets and made them all custom sweatshirts. I was still learning the ins and outs of my machine so they were definitely not the prettiest and the designs turned out so small but it all added to the gag of the gift.
