Throughout my time at Mount St. Joseph University, I assisted in the development of various projects such as Mount Connect, Mount Roar, ISS Help Desk Badges, and the ISS Help Desk mural. Mount Connect involved working with the team to produce a logo that would stand out amongst other MSJ logos whilst still being Mount theme'd. I was also in charge of improving the design of the website. Mount Roar involved the creation of a logo that would fit the Mount's branding while also fitting the new design of Mount Roar. 

While working at the ISS Help Desk, I helped design, sketch, and paint the mural as a part of my time with the Art Guild. Later, creating brand new ID Badges to replace the old designs, pushing the branding of the ISS Help Desk into a much more public position at Mount St. Joseph University.

MountConnect

Work on the Mount Connect logo began in July 2025, with the finalized logo being approved in December 2025. The final logo is meant to represent that, while at Mount St. Joseph University, you are always able to connect with people, classes, or other social activities; they are here for you. The font choice was to be the opposite of the script fonts Mount St. Joseph University uses.

The usage of the San Serif is also to show the connectivity between you and others. The lines on the outside represent the loop that students often are in, and how the time that changes the most is when they connect with others.
The colors are what Mount St. Joseph University uses in their branding to enforce Mount Connect as apart of the Mount family.

MountConnect Brochure

Another piece made was a Mount Connect brochure which was to be placed around campus to inform students, facuilty and staff what Mount Connect is and what it can do for you. The design is based upon the "To New Heights" brand standards guide taking creative liberties in the header to give it unique flaire. This includes the outline of Joe Lions head as the blue background and the campus quad which is often where people connect at Mount St. Joseph.

Featured here are early drafts for the MountConnect brochure. Over time, the text, tagline, logo, and usage of graphics would all be swapped around and modified.

MountRoar

The MountRoar logo was developed in May 2025 for the revamp of MountRoar.  MountRoar is the mobile app for Mount St. Joseph University and has been downloaded by 500+ Mount students!  This logo is used in all promotional material regarding MountRoar. 

This promotional piece is designed for the app's store page as the banner. Featuring the Mount Roar logo, Mount inspired background elements, and a picture of the Mount Roar app, featured a selection of what students can do while on Mount Roar.

ISS Help Desk

During my time at Mount St. Joseph University's ISS Help Desk, I assisted in the development of various aspects of the office that would improve the look of the office for the employees and those who need technological assistance.  Those include assisting in the design of the ISS Help Desk, sketching and painting of the mural, and newly designed ISS Help Desk badges for the Student Workers to wear.

Featured here are the final and rough drafts of the ISS Student Worker badges. Originally starting work in August 2025, as seen on the right. The finalized concept was created in conjunction with the MSJ Marketing Department and the ISS Help Desk to create a badge that makes it easy for staff to know if someone is a Student Worker or not. These were enforced company-wide beginning in March 2026.
