    paper Typographic Calendar
    This project involved designing a typographic calendar centered around a theme of my choice, with an emphasis on creative use of type rather than imagery. Deliverables included a cover, concept page, one representative month from each season, and a back cover. The guidelines specified no use of images or illustrative typography, though decorative elements could be created by combining letters and numbers. I selected 'Goth' as the central theme, which is further explored in the concept page to provide context and rationale for the design direction.…
    paper Sanrio Boutique Hotel
    For this project, I was tasked with conceptualizing a fictional boutique hotel and developing a comprehensive lookbook to represent its brand identity. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant and playful world of Sanrio, I created a visual identity that included a custom logo, color palette, and pattern design. The project also required the design and mockup of branded hotel collateral, including in-room products, as well as a conceptual website layout. To support the visual storytelling, I utilized AI-generated imagery as a foundation, applying detailed editing to ensure consistency with the brand’s tone and aesthetic. Similarly, I employed AI-assisted tools to draft written content, refining it to align with the overall voice and concept. While AI was used to generate base assets, all final mockups were composed and styled by hand to maintain design integrity and brand coherence.…
    paper Paper Sample Booklet "Frontier Fortunes"
    The objective of this project was to design an engaging paper sample booklet that would encourage customers to interact with and appreciate the featured paper line. I selected French Paper’s Speckletone collection as the foundation for my concept. To make the sample both memorable and tactile, I designed a custom card game that users would be inclined to keep and handle. The final piece incorporated three unique folds and included simulated spot varnish and foil detailing to showcase the paper’s versatility and elevate the overall presentation.…
