    uniE613 Oppia.org Lesson Graphics
    (Click Download to view PDF) In 2022 I began creating responsive SVG graphic illustrations for the online educational platform Oppia to illustrate their math and science lessons. The goal of these illustrations is to help the children reading the lessons feel more engaged and have a better understanding of what they are learning about. The graphics, both static and animated, have been well-received and have helped bring Oppia’s lessons to life. #graphicdesigner #illustrator #svg #graphics #digital
    uniE613 Finesse Our Minds Branding & Social Media Content
    In 2021, the mental health non-profit organization Finesse Our Minds (formerly known as We Are Finesse) needed a rebrand – the colors needed a change, the logo had the old name, and there was a lack of fresh content for them to promote the organization. Over the past two years I have developed brand guides, updated the logo, and created social media and other promotional content for FOM, solidifying the identity of the brand and helping to inform people about FOM and demonstrate its goals and mission. The branding choices, including typography and brand colors, remain in use to this day, and I continue to create content for FOM in support of their mission to reduce stigmas around youth mental health and suicide awareness. #graphicdesigner #branding #socialmedia #printdesign #digitaldesign
    uniE613 Weeo (Group Goals App Concept)
    (Click Download to view PDF) In the fall of 2020, my Graphic Design III class asked us to develop a brand based either on a skill we wished we had, or an issue we would like to fix in the world. My concept initially began as a social media platform aiming to help people with low self-confidence build a positive social network. Gradually, it evolved into Weeo - an app to help people achieve their goals by motivating them with a network of people working towards the same goal. The aim of this project was to develop an understanding of brand guidelines and applications, and the many considerations involved in creating a brand from scratch. Additionally, it strengthened my logo design, UI/UX, and motion graphics skillsets. #graphicdesigner #appdesign #digitaldesign #appprototype #branding
    uniE621 Decidy (Decision-Making App Concept)
    (Click Download to view PDF) The Web Design II class I took in the fall of 2020 had a strong emphasis on mobile app prototyping, and asked us to create a prototype based on a problem we relate to and could use an app for. I personally struggle with making decisions, and got inspired when I did research on existing decision-making apps to create one optimized to my own desires and preferences. My final concept proved a challenge to prototype, but ultimately I was able to work out an intuitive user experience, as well as give the app a distinct, whimsical look and feel. #graphicdesigner #branding #appdesign #userinterface #userexperience #ui #ux
    uniE613 A Book About Loneliness
    (Click Download to view PDF) In 2019, my Typography I class asked us to create a book layout, strongly focused on typography over graphics, and focused on a unique social justice topic. I centered my book on the “loneliness epidemic” – why it’s a greater concern than many realize, and what to do about it – because it was an issue I and many other college students struggled with, and I thought it might be a relevant topic to shed some light on. Using just one font and its variants, and minimal supplemental graphics, I attempted to guide readers to an understanding of how loneliness affects us and what can be done to help ourselves and others overcome it. The project was well-received and is an early piece I continue to take pride in. #graphicdesigner #booklayout #typography #publicationdesign
