Starbucks x Tastemade

print design + art direction + illustration

From art direction to illustration, I worked with Clever Creative to create a book that celebrates the art of brewing, dawn to dusk. We captured the artisanal vibe of both brands and brought Tastemade’s digital content into the hands (and kitchens) of a coffee-loving audience.

brand identity

logo design

I enjoy working with startups or small businesses who want to take the next big step in meeting their goals by investing in the look and feel of their brand. Although logos are highlighted here, I collaborate with clients to a cohesive look which can include color palettes, stationery, illustrations, and custom graphics.

My illustration has come in handy for a variety of projects, including infographics, product design, and even a web-comic I wrote called “Rad-o-Zine.” I love bringing whimsy and movement to my work.

mood feed

ui/ux

Mood Feed is an app meant to bring intimacy and simplicity back to social media by allowing users to keep a log of their daily emotions and share it with their friends. In this concept project, I explored UI patterns I’d never seen before, and meditated on the ways that technology can sometimes muddy our communication.

troy camp

brand + print + web + merch

Troy Camp is an organization near and dear to my heart. Having grown up in the neighborhood surroudning USC, I was one of the campers that benefited from their work. When I attended USC, I combined my passion for design with my passion for Troy Camp and became a counselor.
In 2014, I led a diverse team of 8 Troy Camp counselors on a year-long re-branding project, teaching them about identity and design along the way.
