STEP UP VAX UP CONTEST WINNER


    This grand prize winning entry in the Partnership for Maternal and Child Health of Northern New Jersey’s Step Up Vax Up Campaign emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated against COVID-19 to college aged students . As a PSA that educates and spreads awareness to college campuses about the virus, my goal was to present the information in an engaging and informative manner so college students are motivated to share it on social media and around their campus. I particularly focused on the rhythm of the composition in Adobe After Effects, ensuring that there are consistently moving elements synced to the music so the viewer doesn’t lose interest or become bored at the influx of information. I also ensured that all graphics and typography followed the campaign’s existing brand guidelines to maintain a consistent tone across all platforms.


RETRO COCKTAIL POSTERS


This personal project showcases an array of posters featuring different cocktails, each with a unique color scheme and playful illustration. I took inspiration from the vibrant and eclectic style of the 70s, focusing on bright colors and textured elements to give each poster a retro feel while also making them feel modern and fresh. The use of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop allowed for a clean and polished final product, with each detail carefully crafted to depict each cocktail in an eye-catching and captivating manner.



CAT TAROT CARDS


This personal project is a unique twist on the traditional major arcana tarot deck, combining traditional tarot symbolism with playful and whimsical cat illustrations. The deck features illustrations of a variety of cat breeds, each shown in various poses and settings to capture the essence of the corresponding tarot card. Inspired by my friend’s appreciation for astrology and cats, my goal for this design was to make tarot accessible and appealing to a wider audience. The playful cat imagery is intended to help readers connect with the cards in a more light-hearted and approachable way, while the use of traditional symbolism ensures that the cards still hold the same weight and meaning as the original tarot. 

IT’S ABOUT TIME SENIOR THESIS


It’s about time for a new intuitive and visually appealing calendar app! As a visual planner who uses calendar apps daily, I find the limited selection of colors and functions of calendar apps that already exist to be frustrating. These limitations inspired me to design my own using Adobe XD for my senior thesis. This app primarily focuses on color categorization of events with each day color-coded based on the assigned category. This allows users to easily differentiate between various events at a glance simply by seeing the color gradient corresponding to the event on each day. Tapping on a particular day will take the user to the daily view, which displays all events scheduled for that day in a list format, accompanied by its assigned category color. The design of the app is modern and minimalistic, with a focus on ergonomic functionality. The use of white space and bold typography makes the interface easy to read, and the color-coded categories provide a visual hierarchy that aids in organizing events.

OKIE POKE


Okie Poke is a fictional Poke Bowl and Asian cuisine delivery app that allows users to customize their own bowl with a variety of toppings and ingredients and have it delivered to their doorstep. Users can browse through a wide range of ingredients including fresh seafood, vegetables, and sauces and choose the ones they want to include in their bowl. My goal for this project was to create a clean, modern, and easy to navigate app with intuitive customization options. To further showcase the app's features and functionality, I also created a commercial highlighting the app’s customization options and youthful, fun branding. The use of vibrant colors, playful animations, and upbeat music helps to create an eye-catching and engaging experience for viewers.
