This page documents student awards and recognitions from my courses and supervised projects between Spring 2022 and Spring 2026. The work represented here has been honored at international, national, and regional levels across juried exhibitions, competitions, and publications. Showcasing achievements in areas such as motion design, poster design, illustration, photography, and branding, this collection reflects the rigor of Auburn’s curriculum, the strength of our studio culture, and my ongoing commitment to mentoring students as they develop into thoughtful, professional designers.
