Using Saint Mary's established color palette and the intersecting circles motif from their website, I designed these two invitation cards for upcoming events.

For this concept, I wanted to pair opposite elements of Taoist philosophy—the dragon and phoenix. Balance of opposites is central to the philosophy of Taoism. All art was retouched in Adobe Photoshop and the typography designed in InDesign.

For the cover, using a photo of the founder, I created a duotone image with brush-stroked edges to convey antiquity and craftsmanship. Inside, I was able to direct the eye with valuable white space, and used a photograph I took of an iconic statue of the philosopher Laozi which is located at Center.

This cover was for an instructional video of Animal Qi Gong, a form of movements imitating the tiger, bear, monkey, crane, and deer. I put one photo of each animal in five slices of a circle, in order to convey each as a piece of being whole. I used a lush green forest for the background, to add color, texture, and a sense of the wild.

For this poster I paired water and fire which are opposite elements of Taoist philosophy. This concept was to visually communicate balance (the Yin Yang symbol) which is central to Taoism. Both photos were edited and composited in Adobe Photoshop.

The Director of Marketing had asked me to design the cover for their alumni magazine’s 140th anniversary. For the logotype I combined a classic roman font with a modern sans serif font. The idea was to convey the university’s rich, traditional history along with their contemporary programs. The gold color was to be used exclusively for the 140th anniversary issue as a special touch to the familiar maroon.

I designed four Annual Reports for the Council. This is the 1st. Given the organization serves families and children, I focused on the close-ups of children's faces to evoke that endearing feeling only a child's smile can bring. For this project I introduced a color palette, as part of the graphic standards I created.

This is the 4th Annual Report I designed for the Council. The previous three covers were predominantly blue, so I made this one white with blue accents for a fresh look. I went on location to take the photographs of the beneficiaries of the Council's services that were featured inside.

To promote this event, I designed this poster, plus fliers, magazine ads, and banners, to convey activity, yet also be informing. Logos of major sponsors were incorporated to lend credibility to the event. I took the photograph of the boy from a previous festival.

I designed this site from scratch utilizing CSS and DreamWeaver CS5. I composited and edited the final image in Photoshop from photos I took. The intention was to convey motion and fun with an energetic color palette, based on the logotype I initially designed.

This event was for an elegent occasion hosted by the Council. The image of the candle was color enhanced and composited with the background in Photoshop. The design was adapted to other formats, i.e., an e-blast, event program, and certificates.

This campaign included a large sized billboard, bus stop signs, posters, fliers, small web ads and rack cards. The photo of the boy was the constant element of visual identity for all the formats.

While living in Costa Rica, I designed a calendar using provided photography. I also designed greeting cards and posters of fine paintings that were sold at their Heliconia Store. The Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides the technical, scientific and financial means for the protection of biodiversity in Costa Rica's rainforests.

These retail math books included colorful plastic pieces for hands-on learning. I designed three lines of books—Algebra, Geometry, and Facts—for various grade levels. For the final design I commissioned a professional illustrator to create whimsical art of children from different ethnic backgrounds and ages.

This project included designing covers to appear as a series for a program made for struggling readers. I used cheerful colors children could identify with and added words from inside lessons to represent the level of studies. I also designed templates for the interiors.
