CONCEPT

/

Design strives to bring brands, ideas, information and experiences to life, shaping the way we see everything around us. When I design, I treat each project like I’m forming a unique being. I breathe life into it through its charm and visual appearance, driven by its multiple elements from type to image. In giving it a voice, I often rediscover its background, or in special cases, mold its own history for it to communicate effectively. When designing, I create characters and tell their stories.

THESIS /

A master’s thesis is a self-directed body of work driven by numerous months of extensive research and analysis on any chosen topic by the master’s degree student. This project demonstrates a full range of the student’s design skills, thinking and analysis, as well as the ability to communicate a complex topic in a simple yet compelling and engaging manner.

OBJECTIVE /

Help provide a livelihood opportunity for impoverished indigenous T’boli women living in Lake Sebu, a remote area in the southern region of the Philippines. Stimulate the waning production of the t’nalak, a traditional cloth that these women weave, by making them marketable and accessible to the outside world, turning this traditional endeavor into a self-sustaining enterprise.

APPROACH

/

To address the current situation, I developed a fictional non-profit organization called One Weave, One Dream, that aims to achieve a delicate balance between providing a source of income for the T’boli women and safeguarding their weaving tradition. It merges the idea of how the women design patterns based on their dreams, with their current dreams for a better life. This organization provides retail channels to help sell the fabric, educates the public on the unique tradition behind the t’nalak, encourages a sustainable production of raw materials as well as educates the women on basic marketing concepts and fair trade principles. As a brand, it shares an approachable voice that brings an indigenous art form into the modern world.

The t’nalak, is a traditional cloth woven on a backstrap loom by the T’boli women of Lake Sebu, a remote region within the Philippines. Often called the dream weavers, the women design the fabric patterns based from mental images found within their dreams. Making this unique textile is a tedious process that takes roughly anywhere from three to six whole months to finish, depending on the length and the intricacy of the pattern.

ONE WEAVE ONE DREAM

ONE WEAVE ONE DREAM

The identity is deeply inspired by the geometric patterns found within the t’nalak. It represents strength as well as the organic nature of the hand-woven fabric. It has an interlocking “w” to symbolize a sense of union and connection between the fabric patterns based on the weavers’ dreams and the hopes and aspirations of these women. It also represents empowerment, as if expressing a person with her arms victoriously in the air.

The retail catalog provides consumers a selection of products made with the t’nalak. These items range from framed swatches, wall hangings, room dividers to table runners and mats. By presenting them within modern interiors, the catalog helps the buyers to visualize how these unique pieces can fit into their homes.

OBJECTIVE /

Create an experimental typographic poster that interprets any chosen song. Explore various ways of looking at type through the use of analog methods without the help of photo-editing software.

APPROACH /

For this particular project, I chose Knee Deepen, a song by the group Moloko, wanting to express Roisin Murphy’s eerily haunting voice. The nature of this project drove me to look for a song that was open to interpretation with multiple layers for me to explore. Through the various lines of words and different weights in type, I wanted to express the idea of a person hearing voices in their head as if they were answering back to each other. The process involved a combination of type and images printed on acetate sheets and swatches of colored cellophane that were projected unto a wall through an old overhead projector. I manually twisted and turned the materials and photographed them in different angles to create unique compositions.

OBJECTIVE

/

Rebrand the existing Republic of Tea identity and develop a sustainable packaging system for any five of their current lines. Create an organized categorization of the teas while keeping their brand equity in mind. A minimum of nineteen packaging pieces are required at the end of six weeks complete with a new identity.

APPROACH

/

Founded in 1992, The Republic of Tea has been revolutionary in introducing new flavors into the market and is one of the leaders in the tea industry today. Inspired by their tag line, “The Purveyors of The Finest Teas,� I turned to the idea of trade and exploration with a modern twist. I envisioned the brand on its tea expedition, setting sail to scour the world for quality teas. Taking cues from the age of exploration, I utilized materials and textures such as the screened back map on the labels, cork lids, official seals and a shipping crate. The combination of these materials kept the packaging unique while fulfilling the need to be sustainable.

OBJECTIVE

/

Envision a conference on any chosen topic and use experimental typography for the overall design. Develop a variety of conference materials such as a takeaway catalog on the topic, a mailer and a two-sided poster.

APPROACH

/

Urban and suburban sprawl in America is an epidemic that affects the way America’s neighborhoods, cities, and towns are built. This is partly characterized by the increase in traffic, long distance between work and home, inefficient public transportation as well as others. With this in mind, I created the New Urbanism Symposium which creates awareness on the matter by highlighting the negative effects of sprawl. The design style for the symposium uses big and bright blocks of type and color moving through the pages as if they were encroaching on the layouts. A number of information graphics, statistics and overwhelming aerial shots of sprawling neighborhoods fill the book to explain sprawl’s adverse effects on our health, landscape, wildlife, economy and overall well-being.

SEPTEMBER 13–15 2012

The 2012 New Urbanism Symposium is a large step in helping America overcome the negative effects of sprawl on our nation’s communities, environment and health. Joined by a number of experts in the field of urban planning and development, the current issues affecting us in relation to this epidemic will be tackled as possible solutions will be introduced and discussed. > At its core, The New Urbanism is an urban design movement changing the way our cities and towns are built. The New Urban developments establish walkable neighborhoods and transit-oriented developments, allowing us to easily get to one place to another. By increasing the accessibility and efficiency of public transportation, not only are less carbon emissions produced and traffic is reduced, but home, work and school is easier to get to for kids, elderly and people who do not want to drive. It allows the building of more diverse and mixed-housing arrangements for everyone as well as well-maintained public spaces for recreation. New Urbanism is the way to change and revitalize our living environments for the future and for other next generation.

OBJECTIVE

/

Redesign a deli meat line and deli products for either an existing company or a fictional one. Rebrand their existing identity and strengthen the brand equity through the overall look that spans a variety of products. Create a system for meat packs, oils, spices and condiments, to take-out containers and even utensils.

APPROACH

/

Dittmer’s Gourmet Meats & Wurst-Haus, a family-owned German butcher shop and delicatessen, has served the Bay area since their debut in 1978. They take pride in their award-winning meats, freshly made sausages and homemade specialty items. I chose to reinvent this deli by embracing their German heritage and elevating the brand to match their moderately high price range. The new identity is a take on the traditional family crest which highlights Dittmer’s as a family-run business. I also shortened the name and used the original German spelling, “delikatessen.” The overall traditional design features a bilingual approach with both the English and German name on its labels.

The new identity is deeply inspired by traditional family crests that were used to identify a person’s lineage. This approach highlights the deli as being a family-run business, started by Dittmer himself. The classic mark is contained in a circle, serving as a seal of approval to the various finely made German products.

OBJECTIVE

/

Engage in extensive research on any chosen topic and explore the problem in 360 degrees from how it affects society, education, the environment, politics and others. Compile the data and gathered insights into a comprehensive book while including some opportunities where design can be used to address the problem.

APPROACH

/

Being an avid crafter, I explored the topic of handmade items in response to consumerism and mass-produced goods. The output, Hands On: Remembering the art of making, recounts the journey of handicraft from its historical beginnings to where it has found itself today. It encourages its readers to engage in crafting as well as supporting handmade items. Because of this topic, I bound the book myself, stitched the felt sleeve and the title in front, including other elements within the book. I also added various colored strings that run through the chapter openers as well as bits of buttons and pins.

OBJECTIVE

/

Design a typographic narrative on any chosen topic by exploring ways to integrate type and image on a page. Let the concept of the book drive the overall mood.

APPROACH

/

This book chronicles a day in the life of a procrastinator. It starts off with one lazy Sunday dedicated to finishing work and the desire to be productive. Throughout the day, random tasks intervene creating a downward spiral of getting many other things accomplished but not the actual task at hand. The use of hand-drawn type and illustrations playfully flow throughout the book, creating a somewhat spontaneous mood.

OBJECTIVE

/

Create a hypothetical film festival for a chosen director based on a running thread that ties all the filmmaker’s works together. Envision the entire event from location, festival schedule and featured films. Develop multiple deliverables such as tickets, festival catalog, poster and advertisements, giveaways and many others, while capturing the style and essence of your director.

APPROACH

/

Intrigued by the films of American director and auteur, David Lynch, I envisioned the festival revolving around his idea that everything has a surface holding twisted secrets underneath. These five chosen films take a look through the dark lens of our everyday life, unearthing the bizarre mysteries and perverse realities we often see or would rather choose not to see. The overall visual direction uses strong diagonal lines as if slicing through images and fragmenting them to create a disconnect with what is shown. It also features mysterious female models emerging from the darkness, concealing parts of themselves. The festival title, The Owls Are Not What They Seem, is a recurring line taken from the popular 80’s television series, Twin Peaks, created by David Lynch and Mark Frost.

One of the most creative and experimental directors of our time, David Lynch is a master at creating visually stunning and beautifully twisted, controversial films that leave you feeling unsettled and dumbfounded. His use of non-linear storytelling, juxtaposition of bizarre dreams plus corrupted underbellies are just a part of what this director is made of. Not only is he creative as a filmmaker, but Lynch is also a painter, photographer, sculptor, songwriter and music-producer.

OBJECTIVE

/

Select an existing brand that would not be associated with decor or kitchenware and extend it into the home category. Create a packaging line of five household appliances that embody the chosen brand and would cater to its existing audience.

APPROACH

/

Started In 1847, Lambretta is popularly known as the Italian line of scooters originally manufactured in Milan by Fernando Innocenti. This Lambretta Veloce line I created features a collection of five streamlined appliances that are designed with the same precision and style as the classic Italian scooters. Named “Veloce”, which in Italian, means “speed,” refers to the power of the appliances and serves as a nod to the motorbikes. These five sleek and modern additions to your home are not just made to stand out but are built to last, performing with exceptional quality and efficiency.

OBJECTIVE

/

Select an either dead, dying or defunct brand that could benefit from a complete rebranding effort. Research the brand’s history to capture its essence and reinvigorate it through the development of a new identity, visual brand standards and brand extensions.

APPROACH

/

I decided to revisit Ocean Pacific, a once coveted surfing brand in California that sought to meet “the demands of surfers in and out of the surf.” I looked into their early beginnings as a grass roots company and redirected the brand to its original embodiment of the love of surfing and the laid-back lifestyle it left behind. The refreshed Ocean Pacific unleashes its naturally adventurous side, challenging people to “Live Free.” It encourages an active beach lifestyle while advocating the protection of the beaches and oceans all around through its initiatives and activities. It keeps sustainability and conservation at its core through the innovative and environmentally-friendly products that help its target market perform fully.

Dynamic and organic, this new mark encompasses the new Ocean Pacific’s holistic, earth-conscious and carefree nature. It resembles a glowing sun or a ripple with the inner ring representing man and land and the two outer rings emanating from the center to represent water and the sun. It signifies our interconnection with the world or the ocean around us as we actively ride the waves while respecting nature.
