Wedding Graphics
Of course I had to design all graphic elements of my husband and my wedding! From invitations to flowers, signage, name tiles, linens, colors… it was a passion project making things for such an important day, and great practice working with vendors!

Huge Women to Watch
I was design lead for the first Huge Women to Watch. I worked with Natalie Comins (Group Creative Director) on a poster announcement and editorial spreads.
Huge Clock
Designed a clock and card for one of Huge’s swag drops. For the clock, I designed the interface, and then it was built and produced by TAIT Design Co.
Book Covers
This was a self-initiated exploration of book cover design across 10 different genres. After receiving the Carnegie Mellon Marilyn Meltzer Award for Excellence in Color, I used the funding for the books, printing new covers, and an exhibition showcasing final works.
Deconstructed Spaces
I enjoy photographing incidental moments of pattern, order, and repetition in physical spaces. I returned to a selection of these images, and created sculptures that bring them back into a physical form. In this process, the images go through an additional level of deconstruction—with altered form and color. In their new forms, the images have broken out of the patterns and repetitions that I had originally curated, into more scattered compositions.
Cube Experiment
Expanding and dissecting a cube shape, in 2 color variations.
Chicago Design Week: Event Animation
Chicago Design Week Animations for IA Collaborative’s Designing for the Future We Want Panel Event. Coded in processing with Natalia Rojas.
Youtube Stage
After researching Youtube as well as other social network platforms, Sharon Yu, Lily Kim, and I brought data visualization to life through motion and respond to the data with an exploratory probe.
Comparing different social media networks, we discovered there were two main types of communication: one-to-one and one-to-many. Youtube’s main form of commenting is a visible discussion with the entire community (one-to-many). This video introduces a new way to connect with members of the Youtube community. Called Youtube Stage, the concept brings back the feeling of a smaller community from Youtube’s early history in a way that fits with the platform's current one-to-many focus.
November Leminar Poster
Created a poster to advertise leminars happening at the office. The titles presented a juxtaposition of algorithmic and human feelings. For the poster, I abstracted the rigid architecture around me to feel more loose, and used aggressive type to contrast with the inviting titles.
Leftovers
Experimental collage done in collaboration with Juan Aranda. We photo manipulated a photograph of a conversation transcript that had been printed out. The design was CNC-milled and woodblock printed.
Warren Lehrer: A Life in Books Lecture
This poster was commissioned by the CMU School of Design to get students excited for Warren Lehrer's A Life in Books Lecture at CMU, which was part of his tour.
I chose to include an image of Warren Lehrer in the poster because his newest book about Bleu Mobley is somewhat autobiographical. The style of the poster is inspired by his earlier work, such as French Fries. I also printed the poster using risograph to achieve a similar visual effect to his work.
