North High Brewery, located in Columbus, Ohio, provides a unique experience to their customers. In addition to offering a wide variety of locally brewed craft beer, they also offer their patrons the option of brewing their own beer.
I was lucky enough to be able to experience this with some of my family and friends. After the brewing process is finished they allow you to create your own label to send over before coming back a few weeks later to bottle and package your beer. Being the only Graphic Designer in my group, I got to design the label.

The objective of this project was to complete a series of 20 pictograms meant to function within a chosen setting. My chosen setting was Disney World. This process included research, planning, objective-setting, conceptualizing, audience-testing, and form-making. After the set of 20 icons in color was completed. The second step was applying the icons in various applications related to Disney World.
Deciding on a final set to create was definitely a struggle. I was originally just going to re-design 20 of the pictograms that Disney already had, but after discussing it with my instructor we both agreed that it would be more interesting to try making icons for some of the attractions, the park, and some general icons as well. Sometimes the parts that seem the simplest can turn out to be the most complicated. This set can be separated into three different categories: Attraction specific pictograms, Park specific pictograms, and Park generic pictograms. This created a challenge for me in that I would have to technically create three separate categories of icons that all look cohesive enough to belong in the same set. However, they would also look best if the 3 categories differentiated themselves from each other slightly because they are each representing different types of pictograms.

app design | Senior thesis
illume
illume is an app that helps you to improve home efficiency and save money by monitoring your water and energy use and providing you with ways to cut costs and use smarter.

the idea
I began exploring topics and coming up with ideas the summer before we began work on our thesis projects. I came up with a lot of ideas ranging anywhere from creating a new music festival experience to creating the ultimate design journal. As fun as those ideas would have been to work on, I knew that if I was going to put two semesters of hard work into this, it had to mean something more. I’ve always been passionate about the environment. What if I could create something that educated people on how their lifestyles impact the earth and then provide them with ways to lower that impact? This was the topic that I chose to center my thesis project around.
functionality
link to providers
Linking the app to the your utility providers gives illume a way to monitor how much water and energy your home is using. After you view your use, you will be asked to set a goal of how much you would like to cut back on your water and energy use.
conduct an audit
Conduct an audit with illume to further understand where the problem areas are in your home and how to fix them.
02
understand causes
audit report
A report is generated after the audit is complete. It shows a categorized list of the items that were detected during the audit. Select a category to see which items contribute the most to your usage. Select the items with drop downs to learn more about how they contribute.
03
find solutions
upgrades & tasks
The app offers you efficient alternatives for the items in your home that operate inefficiently. It also shows you how much you can save by upgrading.
Upgrading items in your home can sometimes be expensive, even if it will pay off over time. That’s why each category also comes with a list of tasks to help you to cut down on usage without having to spend money upgrading items in your home.
04
measure results
Stats
Illume syncs across all platforms of information to provide you with an accurate view of your progress. The app pulls information from your utility providers to give you live stats, allowing you to stay updated on how you’re doing.
