3D Origami Animation
I have been folding origami since I was young, and I wanted to express the craft in a new way. I started by folding 3D origami triangles in different sizes and shapes. I then photographed and Photoshopped each of them to create the unique formation. I added color and movement to make the piece pop.
Graphic Design Poster
As the Graphics Director for USC's Student Government Asian Pacific American Student Assembly, I am the visual communicator for our events. My graphics are seen by thousands of students through Facebook, Instagram social media channels as well as on-campus and in newsletters.
After Effects
Starting from a storyboard to outline each scene, this motion graphic displays the lyrics to this beloved song in a fun way. I created each illustration in Adobe Illustrator and animated it in After Effects! Click to view.
Book Cover Design
For this commissioned piece, I balanced color, text and imagery to best represent the book. Check it out on Amazon's Books!
Staff Designer
I created and designed graphics for USC’s student-run newspaper with over 10,000+ printed copies. I learned how to visually communicate data, statistics and information that accompanied the stories. My work has been published on the front cover and in the Sports Extra.
Pro Bono Design
I design social media marketing posts to publicize the monthly events and recruit volunteers to make and distribute over 800+ sack lunches to the local homeless population.
Business Management, Art, Operations, Marketing
What began in 8th grade as a hobby turned into creating hand designed iPhone cases and running a business both online and at craft fairs. Determined to learn everything, I taught myself how to: design desirable cases, find manufacturers, build an e-commerce website, run sales & marketing, ship around the nation and complete large corporations' custom orders.
3D Art + Line Art
For this piece, I utilized an Autodesk 3D design tool & used a 3D model of the victory sign hand. I changed the perspective by splitting the different 3D blocks into individual layers. I then cut out the paper shapes, secured them to the glass and mounted the twelve panels with two wood blocks.
Adobe Photoshop + Wacom
I created this photorealistic sweet digital painting in Photoshop.
Research and Visualization
I conducted research for various cell phone car mount brands to inform a new redesigned mount. I focused on the strengths, materials, origin and messaging of each brand.
Graphic Illustration
