Lull

Lull is a brand identity and packaging project for an incense company built around a single observed truth: the pause between lighting and smoke. The visual language, packaging, and copy work together to honor the history of each herb and the quiet ritual of burning it.



Thin Mints

Thin Mints is a company dedicated to creating specially crafted mints infused with herbal supplements to help boost metabolism. The aim was to design a logo that exudes elegance and refreshment, incorporating organic elements. I chose a soft serif font to impart a sophisticated, elevated appearance.

Poet’s Café


Poet's Café is a brand identity for an independent coffee shop rooted in literary culture and designed as a community third space for writers, creatives, and students. The strategy balances warmth with intentionality, pairing a handwritten script logo against a typewriter-style mono serif to ground the brand leaning into nostalgia.


Ropa Vieja


Ropa Vieja is a lively Cuban restaurant that blends live entertainment with a fine dining experience. I aimed to capture the essence of Havana’s colorful buildings by incorporating a bright color palette with shades of orange and blue.



Descansa

Descansa Magazine is a design history publication that spotlights various design eras in each issue. This particular issue focuses on WPA posters from 1934 to 1943. 


Triple Dog

Triple Dog is a Truth or Dare card game for young adults. This project focused on creating an engaging and welcoming packaging design.


Taricha


This project entailed creating an informational poster about Rough-Skinned Newts. The objective was to design an inviting and easily comprehensible poster. 


About Aiga  


The goal of this project was to create an informational AIGA brochure intended for distribution to high school students. To enhance its appeal and create a more engaging experience, I incorporated an array of visual graphics.




CTB


CTB is an experimental band debuting their first album, Life’s a Stitch. To reflect their innovative musical style, the goal was to convey this experimental nature on their album cover. Subtle textures and a threshold effect were used on imagery to reflect the gritty sounds of the album. 





La Brea Tar Pits


The aim of this poster was to showcase the extensive collection of preserved fossils at the La Brea Tar Pits. To achieve this, I made a custom typeface that replicated the intricate appearance of fossil fragments.
