Oh, hello there. My name is Priti. Let’s talk about me for a minute. I am loud, sarcastic, whimsical, and a bit weird at times. I like to think my charming personality translates well in my work as a designer. To decide for yourself, take a look at the work I’ve done on my journey to becoming a master of graphic design. Maybe you’ll even want to give me a job. Just maybe.

project ARCHITECTURE POSTER
course EXPERIMENTAL TYPOGRAPHY
instructor KATHRIN BLATTER
graduate portfolio PRITI KAPADIA
Since my undergraduate degree is in architecture, I figured this project for Kathrin Blatter would be in my wheelhouse. She asked for a poster series designed for a fictional architecture conference. This was an experimental typography class, so I handmade all of my type as if I were building an architectural model. It was worth every little cut, bandage and drop of blood.

project OUI! OUI! MACARON
course VISUAL LITERACY
instructor HUNTER WIMMER
graduate portfolio PRITI KAPADIA
Hand drawn signs have their own unique charm. Hunter Wimmer asked us to find a sign and visualize a design system around it that inspired a dynamic marketing campaign. I found a sign by Oui! Oui! Macarons that was selling pastries from a food truck. While small in size, they are bold in flavor, so I wanted to create posters & marketing collateral to showcase how delicious they truly are.

project HITCHCOCK FILM FESTIVAL
course INTEGRATED COMMUNICATIONS instructor HUNTER WIMMER
graduate portfolio PRITI KAPADIA
Hunter Wimmer asked us to choose a film director and capture the aesthetic soul of their films in an integrated design system. Then, spread that across a plethora of deliverables to create a film festival honoring that director. I chose film legend, Alfred Hitchcock. Just like his films, I designed a classic system that left festival attendees wondering, what is in the darkness?

project SFO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT course TYPE SYSTEM
instructor TIM CARPENTER
graduate portfolio PRITI KAPADIA
In this project, we were given just a text document and asked to turn it into an annual sustainability report for San Francisco International Airport. Using the aiport’s unique design as my inspiration, I wanted to create an annual report that people might be interested in reading. Tim Carpenter asked us to come up a typographic system for all of the information being thrown at the reader.

project NERF REBRAND
course NATURE OF IDENTITY
instructor HUNTER WIMMER
graduate portfolio PRITI KAPADIA
For this project, Hunter Wimmer had us search for a brand that needed a refresh by thinking of the nature of their true identity. I felt that Nerf had fallen into a rut, so I decided to take on their brand soul. Inspired by the idea that Nerf fans can play without worry, I created a new brand strategy for a future where Nerf fulfills any and all of its customers’ desires with no consequence.

Suburbia can be a major bummer, right? However, behind closed doors, you really never know what is going on. Hunter Wimmer asked us to craft a catalog book paired with supporting materials. I was inspired by the work of Todd Solondz, so I wanted to create an in your face visual and typographic system that attempted to reveal the truth of what people are thinking and doing in the suburbs.

Getting paid to design while still learning from amazing mentors? Being a grad student does have its perks. I had the opportunity to intern on the corporate marketing team at Lithium Technologies. My mentor, Jared Cunningham taught me so much beyond my formal education. I was given the chance to design for web and print, while collaborating with other teams at the company.

To get a master’s degree, apparently they want you to actually know something. We are asked to produce a comprehensive thesis project that successfully utilizes design to solve a problem. The thesis project is the culmination of over a year of design strategy, research, user testing, and so much more. I decided to approach the topic of experiencing urban spaces and the way they affect our mood.

Thank you. Let’s talk about you now.
As the saying goes, it takes a village to earn an MFA. Something like that, right? There are so many people to say thanks to for helping me achieve things I never expected from myself. To The Wolfpack: Carly, Leigh, Sarah, and Natasha...I would be totally lost without your wit, strength and confidence. Hanisha and Sami: Thank you for always encouraging me to be better. To my cousins: thank you for
always supporting me. To my professors: thank you for expecting more out of me. I have grown immensely as a designer and a human being thanks to all of you. To my parents and sisters: thank you for letting me be weird and loving me even when you didn’t understand me. I strive to be the best because of you. Thank you so much to everyone in my life, I hope I make you all proud.
Siddharth, my love, you deserve your own page. There have been many tears, but you’ve unconditionally held me up when I needed it the most. Thank you for the late nights brainstorming, strategizing and executing. Thank you for feeding me, making me sleep, and for always reminding me to be confident when I was losing faith in myself. It wasn’t always the easiest, but we finally made it!
