Special Project 02

Design Formatter

Design Formatter is a desktop app I built to take the repetitive setup work out of starting new projects in Adobe Illustrator (.ai), Adobe Photoshop (.psd), and Adobe InDesign (.indd). You can search 550 print and digital presets (already set up with trim sizes, 0.125in bleeds, margins, and CMYK/RGB color modes), preview 100 font pairings, pick from 72 layouts and 75 grid systems, generate a mood or seasonal color palette, and create the ready-to-use Adobe file and project folders on Mac in one click.

About & Contact

Put simply, I have always been a visual mechanic teeming with ambition. At age fourteen, I wrote a story based on one of my favorite video games that got read aloud by a 2.15 million subscriber YouTube channel, before I knew how to use most computer software. As I extended my skills through four years of Georgia Southern, I worked a job as a student designer: incorporating 3D modeling, Virtual & Augmented Reality, every single software of the Adobe Suite, and so many niche applications. This was to accomplish absolutely any goal, and all of this before I even stepped foot into my first out-of-college job in October 2024.

As you can tell: Challenge defines me. Even since I was a toddler, where I wanted to be an artist. Because now, I can paint, draw, doodle... but I want to do it for clients. I want to see my work in public. I want it to mean something to the community. I want the conversations on how to make things better.

I want a challenge.
