Creative Typography
Series: Moonlight
This piece explores the poetic tension between form and function through abstract typographic expression.
By deconstructing traditional letterforms and rearranging text in dynamic layers, I aimed to create visual rhythm and emotional resonance without relying on imagery.
3D Design
Using Autodesk Maya, I developed a 3D concept from the ground up, focusing on form, lighting, and texturing to produce a realistic, high-quality render. The project combined foundational design principles with advanced 3D modeling techniques to create professional, market-ready visuals. Careful attention was given to material details, scene composition, and light dynamics to ensure the final output was both visually compelling and technically refined.
Created for Garfield Park Conservatory
This project focused on developing a creative concept that aligned seamlessly with the brand’s identity.
I captured high-quality original photography and used Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to create custom designs tailored to the brand’s visual language. These designs were then applied to product mockups, resulting in a cohesive and visually compelling product line. The final outcome effectively communicates the brand’s essence, blending creativity with strategic design execution..
Typography Poster
This informational poster was created using Adobe InDesign as a typographic study of the Univers typeface and its designer, Adrian Frutiger.
Through the use of hierarchy, geometric structure, and strategic contrast, the poster communicates the historical and conceptual significance of Univers. Custom color overlays, optical symmetry, and layered typography enhance the visual appeal while supporting educational content.
This piece serves as both a tribute and a learning tool, blending design history with creative execution.
Magazine layout
Using Adobe InDesign, I created a visually engaging magazine that highlights strong layout principles and thoughtful design. I established a consistent grid system, applied typographic hierarchy, and carefully curated my own photography to support and elevate the content.
The result is a dynamic editorial piece designed to enhance readability while offering a rich and immersive experience for the reader.
Created For The Art Institute of Chicago
This brochure was designed using Adobe InDesign and showcases my application of color theory, typography, and grid systems to create a cohesive and visually engaging layout. I also incorporated my own high-quality photography to help capture the essence of the museum. The final design aligns with the institute’s brand identity and artistic vision, ensuring clear communication and visual impact.
Dynamic Digital Displays
Designed and developed a series of digital monitor displays to showcase upcoming school events, student resources, and campus updates at Oakton College. These monitors were strategically placed around campus to keep students and staff informed and engaged.
The project involved creating visually appealing layouts, managing dynamic content updates, and ensuring accessibility and clarity across all displays.
Promotional Items Design
During my internship at Oakton College, my design work received such positive feedback that I was asked to create a set of promotional items for the college. The collection included a branded mug, stainless steel water bottle, stress-relief figure, and pen—all tailored to reflect Oakton’s visual identity.
I collaborated directly with vendors to bring these items to life and adapted the designs to meet specific client needs, ensuring consistency and clarity across different materials and formats. One standout feature was the mug design, which includes a QR code linking employees to helpful digital resources.
This project deepened my experience in real-world production processes, branding across physical items, and communicating effectively with stakeholders to meet both aesthetic and practical goals.
ÁNDALE! Palm Card Design
This promotional palm card was created to support the ÁNDALE! program at Oakton College, which empowers Latino/a/x students through mentorship, leadership development, and academic support. Although the photographic content was provided, I designed the layout, integrated the school’s branding, and adapted the messaging to align with institutional guidelines. The final product balances clear communication with a vibrant and welcoming visual identity tailored for a student audience.
