Generally, I do a bit of everything!
There's no part of design that I dislike.
I love the learning, the process, the hustle.
There's always something new,
and I want to be there for it.
Vans AD - Collaboration Project
A collaboration effort with Nicole Yoo, Georgina Metzler,
and photography students, Hannah Mahan, and Jay Herrera.
We were to create a VANS print ad based on the creative brief
by the Young Ones Awards 2020.
Goal: Putting the PRO in Vans Pro
Chocolat - Circular Packaging Design
The challenge of this project was to come up with a creative rationale and
design eco-friendly packaging while applying the concepts of circular design behind it.
In this case, I chose a chocolate bar with packaging made from cocoa shells.
From growing the cocoa beans, to manufacturing the chocolate, to processing the cocoa paper.
Smile - Storytelling
A project open to the student's direction.
In my case, I chose a comic with a storyboard design.
This is a preview of the full comic that can be found in my website.
It is a story about a man and why he chooses to smile everyday.
All art, text, and characters are made by me.
