    uniE621 Santa’s Little Helper – Irish Cream Label Design
    A premium, holiday-inspired label design created for a small-batch Irish cream, Santa’s Little Helper blends vintage typography with a modern, boutique aesthetic. The goal was to create something that felt giftable, elevated, and slightly cheeky; straddling the line between artisanal and festive. The design features a refined serif paired with a delicate script to create hierarchy and personality, while minimalist line illustrations and subtle holiday motifs add charm without overwhelming the composition. The tall, narrow label format was intentionally designed to complement a slender glass bottle, enhancing shelf presence and perceived value. This project highlights strengths in brand storytelling, typography pairing, and product mockup visualization, with a focus on creating a cohesive, market-ready concept that could easily translate to small-batch production or Etsy retail. graphicdesigner branding illustrator productdesign labeldesign

    paper UBC Video Production

    While working full-time at the University of British Columbia, I produced and edited video content for digital channels, transforming pre-existing assets into cohesive, story-driven pieces. This is a prime example of the long form editing projects completed.

    Objective
    Translate raw interview footage and campaign direction into an engaging, polished video that aligned with UBC’s brand and resonated with a digital audience.

    My Role
    Led end-to-end post-production, including:

    • Interpreting storyboard and creative direction
    • Selecting and sequencing video clips for narrative flow
    • Editing green screen interview footage into a cohesive storyline
    • Music selection and audio editing for tone + pacing
    • Colour grading for visual consistency and polish
    • Final assembly and delivery for digital use

    I approached this project as a storytelling exercise, not just an edit:

    • Built a clear narrative arc from fragmented inputs (raw footage + interviews)
    • Used music and pacing to drive emotional engagement
    • Balanced multiple visual sources into a seamless final product
    • Ensured consistency in tone, colour, and rhythm throughout

    This project reflects my ability to bridge strategy and execution—turning structured inputs into compelling, audience-first content.
