Hello. I'm LVCIVS-IV.filmmaker/designer
Design has always been how I make sense of the world and help others do the same. Over 10 years of working across visual design, art direction and UX, I’ve learned that the most effective work happens when storytelling drives every decision. I build with accessibility at the core, because I genuinely believe good design belongs to everyone. sit back, take a trip, and experience the experience.
Mapping the Loowit Trail
Mapping a three-day circumnavigation of Mount St. Helens on the Loowit Trail, from GPX tracks collected on foot. Built in ArcGIS Pro with USFS trail data, NHD hydrology, and USGS elevation, the project pairs a published web map with a StoryMap incorporating 360° video and black-and-white film photography.
The Virtual Art Gallery app removes the time and travel barriers that keep busy professionals from seeing art in person. Grounded in user interviews and usability testing, it lets users browse artists' work, read their bios, and buy pieces from anywhere — with immersive visuals and a checkout that stays out of the way.
Cyclists looking for custom handmade frames and high-end components face limited, impersonal options online. Through user research, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing, I built a responsive e-commerce platform that simplifies customization and makes product specs clear — pairing performance-focused shopping with a sense of community.
Education Should Be a Right, Not a Privilege is a responsive web platform for free educational resources. User research surfaced three barriers — cluttered layouts, weak search, and privacy concerns — and the design addresses each with clearer structure, better search, and cross-device access.
My graphic design work spans publishing, film, art, and brand identity — romance novel covers, cinematic pitch decks, exhibition materials, educational campaigns, and logos for local businesses. I build cohesive visual systems through bold typography, strong imagery, and considered layout.
Film and video is one of the ways I explore ideas and tell stories. Each project is the result of collaboration with generous and talented people who contributed their knowledge, creativity, and support to help bring these visions to life.
I work across digital, film, and wet plate collodion photography. Each medium offers a different relationship to light and time—from the immediacy of digital capture to the tactile, handcrafted nature of collodion plates. These processes shape how I approach composition, narrative, and visual design.
My life experiences have taken me on many journeys, shaping me into a multidisciplinary storyteller, visual designer, and emerging UX designer. As a filmmaker and photographer, I explore the human experience through evocative imagery and narrative. I am excited to apply these skills to create thoughtful, intuitive work that makes the world more manageable. Based in Washington State, I find inspiration in daily life, nature, and the human experience.
