Exploratory Projects

This collection brings together work from
my senior year in Visual Communication V and VI. As these exploratory projects developed, they began to inform and influence one another, strengthening my design process along the way. More than anything, this work reflects a year of experimentation, persistence, and growth through constant iteration and refinement.

Poster Show Poster

The goal of this project was to design a poster that represented the ASU Graphic Design Program and the 18th Annual Poster Show. Inspired by the number 18 and the tools used in poster shipping and handling, the concept explores the connection between production, presentation, and the tradition of the annual show.

Exhibit Show Poster

I was tasked with designing a poster that represented my senior class, brought together the range of social issue topics explored across our work, and incorporated the name of every student in the graduating class.

What follows is a collection of sketches and digital iterations that show how my concept developed throughout the design process.

Social Issue Presentation

The social issue presentation served as an opportunity to gather research and shape a compelling visual narrative around my topic. I approached it by selecting imagery that captured both the urgency for collective action and the growing frustration among locals toward digital nomads and short-term rentals like Airbnb.

The Social Issue Clock

This project began with the challenge of creating a new way to tell time. The exercise pushed me to think beyond traditional clocks and consider how time could be measured through systems, behaviors, and mediums. Through this exploration, the concept evolved into a social issue clock. An experimental way of using time as a framework to communicate urgency, impact, and change.
This section features iterations, revisions, prototypes, and process clips that offer insight into how I approached the project, tested ideas, and worked through design problems along the way.

Event Design Committee

During my senior year, I served on a design committee, collaborating with fellow designers to develop the wayfinding, visitor flow, and senior exhibition experience.
