Visual Definitions /ˈviz ho əl ˈdef ənish əns/ noun a collective of selected graphic design works compiled into a portfolio. A conceptual narrative that defines and describes the objective of each project.

I N T R O D U C T I O N //

The concept of my portfolio is titled visual definitions because each chapter opener starts with a keyword that relates to the project. Throughout my 5 year journey as a graphic designer, I feel that I’m constantly defining visually through my work based on the objectives and target audience of each project. The diversity of each project has allowed me to execute designs based on various concepts and my work is a reflection of that. As designers ,part of our job is to define and visually explain for various types of audiences. My portfolio is an inside view of work that I have refined through time and incorporated the skills that were taught to me in this learning process.
