Oh, Hello.

A fictional coffee brand created as an exploration of visual identity and storytelling. I developed a cohesive look through typography, color, and graphic elements, then brought the brand to life through a series of applications and mockups.

"Hope Begins With Noticing" is a teen suicide prevention awareness campaign built around the idea that noticing can be the first step toward connection and support. The campaign speaks to three audiences: teens, parents, and the community. “It’s OK to Not Be OK” speaks directly to teens, “Do you care enough to notice the things I am hiding from you?” encourages parents to look beyond what they see on the surface, and “Please Notice Us” calls on the broader community to pay attention. Each piece uses a different message for its intended audience while working together as one visual campaign.

A ceramic reliquary inspired by a drawing created by my daughter, combining the features of a giraffe and a snail into a single creature. I translated her drawing into a 3D form and created a small vessel to hold six ceramic heart shakers, each representing one of my children. The piece explores imagination, family, memory, and the transformation of a simple drawing into a meaningful object.

A set of hand-thrown ceramic bowls inspired by organic shapes and the simple joy of making something by hand. Each bowl has its own personality while still belonging to the same family.

An iconography project exploring how a film’s story can be translated into a simple visual language. I created a series of icons representing key characters, objects, moments, and themes from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, then brought the system together in a final mockup.

A mixed-media paper collage exploring texture, color, and close-up observation. The piece was created primarily from magazine pages, construction paper, gel medium, and paint, using layered materials to build the texture and dimensionality of a lizard’s eye.

A series of animations created over a semester.

A small series of night photographs exploring stillness, movement, and the feeling of something briefly caught between presence and absence. Both photographs were made along the same fence at night. In one, the movement of my dog’s head during a long exposure creates a ghostly effect against an otherwise still figure. In the other, white wildflowers shift in the night air, leaving some blossoms sharp and others blurred.
