Event Branding

Collaborative effort with fellow design alumni to create the brand mark and identity for the Hawai’i Roots virtual tree planting event for the Sierra Club of Hawai’i. Includes a set of simple yet distinuishable pictograms that can be applied in a variety of ways to create promotional gifts for event participants.

Proposed Exhibition
December 2021
Promotional materials for the proposed exhibition “ECHO” featuring Brazillian street artist Eduardo Kobra. Collateral includes invitations, event badges, and exhibition merchandise.

Reimagined Book Covers
November 2021
Redesigned book jackets of author F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novels “The Great Gatsby” and “The Beautiful & Damned”. Designed as a matching set, the two novels reflect Fitzgerald's own experiences with the dangers of indulging in decadence. Set in the Roaring Twenties, both stories define the rapid rise and fall of the luxurious, though unsustainable lifestyles of the upper-class during a tumultuous economic recession in America.
Customized Banknotes
May 2021
Introducing a contemporary presence into the Japanese yen, each double-sided customized denomination reflects the architectural landmarks of a different region of Japan.

Designed interface with responsive features such as air fryer presets, customizable circular meter, and recommended recipe menu. Project involves detailed wire-framing and extensive prototyping in Adobe XD.
Typographic Identity

Identity collateral designs influenced by French type designer Claude Garamond and his typeface “Garamond”. Modified letterforms of the Garamond typeface are used in the identity marks, accentuating the loose shapes of the serifs.
Typographic Booklet
February 2021
10-page accordion booklet containing excerpts from “Order of Books” by Roger Chartier. Emphasis was placed on structured gestalt and asymmetric flow between typography and geometric shapes.
