Signage & Information
From 2023 to 2025, I worked at Rocky Neck State Park 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 the park’s environment, history, and rules, making information both engaging and easy to understand.
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.
At the Park Supervisor’s request, I redesigned the campground sign to make it easier to read. I suggested changing the gray & white color scheme to brown & yellow so it would stand out more and match the Campground Office and other park signage.
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.
For larger signs, I designed & hand-cut custom stencils from cardstock using an X-Acto blade to ensure clean, consistent lettering.
