DEFINING COLLECTION / According to oxford english dictionary, collection is �1/ the action of collecting or gathering together. 3/ A number of objects collected or gathered together, viewed as a whole; a group of things collected and arranged: a/ in a general sense; e.g. of extracts, historical or literary materials. 4/ A summing up, an abstract, summary. 6/ The action of collecting or bringing under control (one's thoughts, etc.); the action of collecting oneself, or state of being collected; composure.� ("collection, n." OED Online, Oxford University Press, March 2019) COLLECTION AS A HISTORY / In the open canvas of this portfolio, where my ideas spread wide, the concept of "Collection" manifestly reveals itself. "Collection" is, concretely, a variety of work created during my time at the Academy.

And yet, it is also something which surpasses the tangible form. It is a collection of hours spent studying, appreciating and pursuing knowledge. Its inspiration is the building of creative works, each project a window into my state as a designer. Taken together, these projects breathe life into a story that is the greater whole of who I am. While reading, I invite you to consider each project as both a self-contained work and as part of a greater "Collection."

COLLECTION AS AN IDENTITY / As we accumulate time through activity or craft, an eventual identity forms around it. Those who paint are painters, those who write are writers and so on. As such, an identity as designer has formed through my time studying design. While I acknowledge this reality, I do see myself differently. Rather, I am more than my title. I seek inspiration, solutions, art and purpose. From this pursuit, a design identity emerged. Its title serves as a beautiful birthmark.

COLLECTION AS A GUIDE / This book serves as signs from the past, the present and to the future.

As I enter the world of design fully, I welcome all future endeavors.

I carry the hope that each experience serves a purpose; and with every one, lessons add to the collection of my life.

“ We believe women's equality is a basic human right. It is not reserved for those in big places , those with loud voices, or those with the means and access to costly education.

Everyone deserves access to limitless possibility. To understand equality, it is vital that we acknowledge inequality. We must recognize privilege and difference, and know that making space for others does not mean losing your power. Moving toward a more equal, just and loving world will require that each of us insist on hearing the voices of those who are often silenced; that we do the work to stand up, show up and speak up — even if that means stepping into discomfort.

Equality requires that we use our voices to demand that the value of others be respected when they speak, in how they’re paid, andhow they’re treated in every instance.

Equality should not be conditional.”

PROJECT TWO / Airbnb Place — Group Package Design BACKGROUND / As a team, we were asked to create a brand identity for a conceptual retail store with an extensive corresponding product line. Airbnb Place was born as a result. Located in San Francisco, the store aims to bring the Airbnb experience to your own home. The idea that anyone can "Belong Anywhere."

CONCEPT / Airbnb Place is an artisanal home goods line.

Each product is handcrafted and selected to represent the artist and the culture from which it comes from. The design is inspired

by Airbnb's fun and eclectic design aesthetic but also aims to keep things simple, allowing the product to do the talking. Finding that perfect harmony in the relationship between product and package meant research. Each new product came with a story and it was up to our team to support that. After 16 weeks of studying the community, manifesto and experience of Airbnb, Airbnb Place was born.

₼ PROJECT THREE / Moléculaire — A Poetic Cookbook BACKGROUND / In the world of cooking, Molecular Gastronomy has made quite an impact. The practice seeks to generate new knowledge on the basis of the chemistry and physics behind culinary processes. A new breed of chefs has risen. Known as molecular gastronomists, the chef's are discovering new ways to use this process to their advantage. Some are more artistic than others.

The book 'Moléculaire' highlights the work of three Michelin star chefs that have redefined what cooking and molecular gastronomy means to them.

CONCEPT / Dominique Crenn, Ana Roš and Kamilla Seidler are some of the world's most important figures in the art of cooking. Each have taken the unconventional method of cooking and have developed an artistic purpose behind the science of their food. Within Moléculaire, readers can enjoy interviews, recipes and photographs of the artist's work. Each dish represents a different piece of the artist’s life and purpose.

≈ PROJECT FOUR / Méli-Mélo Deli — Group Package Design BACKGROUND / This project is the result of a love for parisian food. It really is as simple as that.

My class and I were assigned the task of developing a product line for a conceptual deli.

Instead of looking to the future, as I have usually done in these type of situations, I decide it was time to look to the past and pay a little homage to the tried and true.

Thus Méli-Mélo Deli was born.

CONCEPT / Méli-Mélo means "mish mash" in french, a seemingly perfect title for a french-inspired delicatessen. From there, everything else fell into place. The color, typeface and illustration choices were made with the effort to revamp your favorite delicatessen from down the street. A touch of fabric, a hint of lavender and artisanal jars were all part of reminding you of a foundation. While Méli-Mélo might not exist, the feelings it evokes live on today.

“ What makes a good deli is a place that, one, is generally family-owned or owned by individuals that care. Delis that are owned by large corporations tend not to have that same soul. And two, delis that make as much of their food from scratch as possible. ”

∴ PROJECT FIVE / Trinchero Winery — Boxed Wine Group Project BACKGROUND / Trinchero Family Estates is the fourth largest wine producer in the U.S. The company represents some 40 wine and spirits brands making its impact immeasurable. When Trinchero approached our package design class with a request, we were eager to jump on board. The objective was to create a boxed wine that targeted millennials, to solve the unused wine issue that was caused by the nozzle, and to provide users with a memorable experience.

CONCEPT / With a team of four designers and one industrial designer, my team and I were excited to dive in. 16 weeks later, we came back with a revolutionary product. Titled "The Rocker," every part of this product is well used. The interior is built in a way so that the wine bladder sits on a slope, allowing the wine to gravitate naturally to the nozzle, solving the excess wine problem. Equipped with cups, a memorable experience was sure to happen. Lastly, the design. Based on the wineries process of making wine, the illustrations, colors and logo design are meant to seduce a younger target audience.

A GUIDE /

¤ PROJECT SIX / Manual — App Design BACKGROUND / One afternoon I found myself on the side of the freeway with a popped tire. As anyone would be, I was stressed. I thought to myself "Why don't I know how to fix this?" I stood by my car and googled resources on how to teach myself this skill but discovered there was no single place that held all this information.

It was then I realized there was an opportunity in front of me.

CONCEPT / Manual is an app experience designed for any car owner. It is a guide used during stressful situations. The app comes with professional tutorials and a tracking system to remind users of upcoming maintenance. Named after a car manual, Manual aims to educate car owners to be prepared for unplanned situations. Pulling from some of the most used apps on the market, the design aesthetic is meant to engage readers on a topic that might seem daunting. The colors and typeface choice are gender neutral, providing users of any kind to feel welcome.

× PROJECT SEVEN / TalkingHands — Sign Language Learning Kit BACKGROUND / Charles Eames once said,"The role of the designer is that of a good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests." Quotes like these strike a chord within me. Realizing that design surpasses my own desires is a journey that requires patience and awareness.

A turning point in my design career took place when I chose a project that challenged my perspective on design. It was from this experience that I grew, almost overnight and became the designer that I am today.

CONCEPT / TalkingHands is a unique project. The project is all about sign language. I discovered that modern day methods of learning sign language came with badly designed booklets and thus frustrations. I saw an opportunity to redesign the sign language learning experience. I was able to find a way to design for a specific target audience, one that I am not particularly familiar with. I was also able to have some fun with different ways to use typography.

Allowing the hands do the talking. In the end this project challenged me to grow and ultimately stands as the foundation of work that I hope to be a part of in the future.

¹ PROJECT EIGHT / The Study of Autism — A Book Design BACKGROUND / The Study of Autism is a very near and dear project. Seen more as a personal project, its roots are deep. The task at hand was to develop a book for our Typography 2 class. For some of us, this would be our first time designing a book. This was the case for me, and I saw it as an opportunity to explore design. This book still stands as one of my favorite projects today.

CONCEPT / Based off my niece, Kianna, the book is written and designed to portray the experiences a person with autism might have. As a young designer, I was eager to push the purpose of design and see if its power was capable of making something meaningful. Every page is uniquely designed to engage the reader and leave them feeling as if they understand autism. The front cover, the images and the words all come from the experiences I have had with Kianna, and some are directly from her.

It was from this project that I discovered a side of design that excited me and kickstarted a journey that eventually led to this book.
