🎣 Angler & Ale – Custom T-Shirt Design
This T-shirt was designed in collaboration with Diaz Cooper Advertising Agency for Angler & Ale, a waterfront restaurant operated by Hawks Cay Resort in Duck Key, Florida.
The front features a custom hand-drawn typographic treatment that riffs on the curves and tension of fishing hooks. The word “HOOKED” is sharply slanted to evoke motion and the thrill of the catch—reinforcing the sport-fishing culture of the Keys. Coordinates beneath the wordmark anchor the design in its exact geographic location.
The back of the shirt showcases the existing Angler & Ale logo, paired with the tagline:
“Great food. Cold beer. Duck Key.”
“Great food. Cold beer. Duck Key.”
This wearable design merges coastal energy with elegant branding—created to extend the restaurant’s identity beyond the plate and into daily resort life.
🧠 Psychology Culture Tees – Apparel Design Series
While working as an in-house graphic designer at Dade Medical College, I was tasked with creating a series of promotional T-shirts to boost school spirit across campuses and highlight the Psychology program in a fresh, engaging way.
This series, titled “Psychology Culture Tees,” merges academic references with playful pop culture phrases. Each shirt incorporates familiar psychological theories—such as Freudian slips and Jungian dream analysis—and reframes them with humor and visual wordplay. The brain icon replaces the “O” in each design, reinforcing the theme of cognitive science and mental health.
Featured phrases include:
- “Freud said YO MAMA”
- “I think YO CRAZY”
- “NO WORRIES, BE HAPPY”
- “Jung said DREAM ON”
The designs were printed on white cotton tees and worn by students and faculty alike, with consistent branding across the back and sleeve featuring the dade medical logo and web address.
This project demonstrates a balance of educational messaging, visual branding, and humor—all aimed at creating connection through design.
🩺 Conquer the NCLEX – T-Shirt Design
While working as an in-house graphic designer at Dade Medical College, I was tasked with designing a commemorative T-shirt for nursing students who passed the NCLEX—the national licensing exam for registered nurses in the U.S.
The shirt’s front features the phrase “I Conquered the NCLEX” in a clean, modern typeface, with select letters enclosed in circles to mimic multiple-choice bubbles—an homage to the test format. Supporting icons like a book and pencil reinforce the academic rigor behind this achievement. The Dade Medical College logo is subtly placed on the chest to align with school pride.
The back design celebrates the wearer’s new title: Registered Nurse. The letters “R” and “N” are highlighted in matching exam-bubble circles, with a minimalist medical cross behind them, symbolizing care, certification, and success.
This shirt served as a badge of honor for students—marking their transition from student to healthcare professional, and reinforcing school pride in their success.
