COC Spirit Mural
Working with the Intersect GMD Agency at COC, me and my team designed a 3-wall installation for College of the Canyons to promote school spirit.
Phase 1
The team began brainstorming and sketching rough concept ideas for the mural. Together we came up with 14 different ideas and I presented them to the clients. The clients chose their favorite elements from 4 concepts to continue exploring.
We took the concepts the clients liked and further developed them with more detailed sketches.
Phase 2
Map + Greeting Card (my concept)
Doors
Pathways + Campus
The clients wanted to move forward with the map + greeting card concept the map + greeting card, while also incorporating people from the pathways + campus concept.
Phase 3
Final Design
The clients final pieces of feedback were to add the University Center building, add a cougar (the school’s mascot), and add the COC socials. We also changed the secondary typography to be handwritten.

The meticulously crafted spirit wall in Canyons Hall welcomes visitors with warmth and functionality. Its central message, "Greetings from College of the Canyons," sets a welcoming tone, embodying type from iconic vintage postcards, while handwritten subtext adds a personal touch. Custom illustrations and a campus map provide both aesthetic appeal and practical guidance, reinforcing school pride and community. With its dynamic design and cohesive integration, the spirit wall enriches the campus experience, embodying the spirit of unity and possibility at College of the Canyons.
