Signage & Information
From 2023 to 2025, I worked with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). Across the different roles I’ve held, my design background has always played a key part in the work I do. I aim to create visuals that help educate visitors about CT state parks' environment, history, and rules, making information both engaging and easy to understand.
In 2025, CT State Parks introduced all-terrain wheelchairs available for rent to expand accessible opportunities in our parks and trails. I was tasked with creating promotional flyers to advertise & increase the use of this new program. I took the photos myself, edited them using AI and Photoshop, and designed the final layout.
Over the years, CT DEEP has seen a decline in applications for seasonal positions, especially among younger applicants. For the 2026 season, I was tasked with creating recruitment materials for the parks, including flyers and yard signs, as well as a new presentation to be used at job fairs. I utilized the brand’s iconic navy blue and green color scheme, along with a bold, clean font, to ensure the materials were easy to read, even at a glance.

Having a hard-to-read rule sheet leads to confusion and guests often do not read it at all. Rocky Neck State Park has experienced this issue for years, with visitors unknowingly breaking park rules and laws. I first cleaned up the map and rules list by removing information that was no longer relevant for 2026 (such as phone booths). I then redesigned the document into a trifold format, making it more interactive and spacing out the information. Icons were also added to help visitors quickly find key information.
The Ellie Mitchell Pavilion is the largest Depression-era building in Connecticut. Although staff have provided tours for decades, there had never been an official pamphlet documenting its history. Using research and archived records, I designed a trifold informational pamphlet to highlight the building’s past and share its story with visitors.
Rocky Neck State Park is full of life, from tiny ants to soaring ospreys. Visitors are often curious about what they see, so I created three field guides: Birds, Bugs, and Ocean Creatures, using information from iNaturalist.org to help them identify and learn about the park’s wildlife.
As the park’s go-to graphic designer, I created all posted signage around Rocky Neck State Park, from restricted area notices to camping car policy explanations. My goal was to design clear, accessible signs that helped both guests and staff understand park rules and feel informed during their visit.
