I’ve always been a curious person. The lure of the mysterious and the unknown excites me. I always wonder, “What’s hiding in the shadows?” So it comes as no surprise that I love mysteries, and I believe that solving mysteries is similar to problem solving in design. Both follow a similar process. First, we collect clues by researching the subject and all the ideas associated with it. We talk to key witnesses by taking a look at the target audience and their motives. Then, as good detectives do, we take all this evidence and create a pin board of ideas, with sketches, images and word lists to connect the facts and narrow down our suspects. We finally solve the mystery by creating designs - producing tangible evidence that can not be dismissed and bringing to

faust overview
objective
Where does the devil dine? A most fiery dining experience located in the heart of hell, FAUST serves up the freshest souls, cooked to perfection by executive chef Judas Iscariot. FAUST also carries a line of exclusive wines, aged from the holy blood of past popes. I consciously chose to not show any photos of the restaurant nor the dishes because I believe that each person’s image of hell is different and far more terrifying than what I could render.
1.
Create a menu that sells the concept of a
soul-serving restaurant
2. Create products that invoke a dark but decadent atmosphere
3. Bring some humor to the dark side
solution I researched famous soul-sellers and fooddescribing adjectives and combined them together to create copy for the menu. I selected the typeface Mason for it’s dark elegance but used it sparingly to keep it from getting kitschy. Copperplate and Caslon were great supports with

ban the bottle overview
objective
An interactive mobile campaign to inspire change in plastic bottle usage and pollution. Since people are increasingly relying on their phones as their main source of information, I thought making a mobile-only campaign would be more effective and reach a wider audience through texting and social-media sharing. The project went through many rounds of wireframes to ensure that the interaction would flow smoothly from one section to the next, while still making it easy and fun to navigate.
1. Campaign against platic bottle pollution with a mobile friendly experience
2. Create an unique user-flow that engages the viewer to interact with the site
3. Keep in mind that the objective is not to scold, but to promote helpful ways to keep the environment free of pollution
solution Tell the story of the plastic bottle journey, from creation to pollution. The colors were inspired by watercolor paint swatches and the various greens and blues associated with water. For typeface choices, I decided upon a mixture of Libre Baskerville and Open Sans - both are web-safe

world cultures overview
objective
A series of postcards, bookmarks and banners to celebrate the centennial of San Diego City College and its World Cultures Program. This was a collaborative effort with Koa Hudgens for a special one-time Centennial Design class. I also worked with the directors of the World Cultures department to create vinyl banners for the SDCC campus. The concept focused on the idea that no matter who we are, we are all part of the human culture.
1. Create collateral to celebrate the Centennial celebration of City College and its programs
2. Design flyers that encourage students to attend World Cultures events around campus
3. Utilize brand drivers such as “Embracing urban diversity” and “Education without borders.”
solution The colors were derived from the school color palette for the Centennial Spring semester postcards and changed to fall-inspired tones for Fall semester. The typeface was taken from the brand manual created by Mires Ball. I used

hidden wonders overview
objective
The theme of hidden mystery and discovering wonder was selected for the Old Globe Theatre’s 2015 Season. Inspired by children’s literature, the green outdoors and Elsa Mora’s paper-cut art, I created collateral material including t-shirts, theatre program, magnetic paper doll kit, and a mailer that promoted this series of plays. The color palette was chosen to represent the wonder of springtime, when all

inside - educational books overview
objective
An educational learning system that makes accelerated learning feel like being inside of an exciting ride. I used bright colors and vibrant images of amusement park rides to capture and retain the interest of the students, conveying a sense of fun and excitement. Since workbooks are the traditional method of education, I decided to pair them up with a modern solution to create a more immersive and effective learning experience.
1. Capture the attention of students 8-10 years old who are in an accelerated learning program
2. Design workbooks that engage students 3. Create interactive DVD screens that correspond and support workbook pages

juice du jour overview
objective
A “farm-to-juice� juice bar that collaborates with local farms to produce the freshest, highquality juice in town. I created all of the fruit and vegetable illustrations using construction paper and acrylic paint, which produced a unique texture. This juice bar uses a handlabeled sticker system on their pre-packaged juices to accomodate the frequently changing menu determined by produce availability.
1. Target audience is 30-45 year old women on the go who to improve their health
2. Create an environment that is warm and friendly, unlike other sterile juice bars.
3. Support local farms and neighborhoods as part of their brand message.
solution The color palette was taken from the produce, contrasted with cream and dark greys. I deliberately did not choose the colors white or black to create subltle distinction from other juice bars with their stark white sterile environments.

minerva spa retreat overview
objective
A holistic fountain of youth and sanctuary for women, based around the mythology of Sulis Minerva, the Roman goddess of bath and healing. With its calming blue color palette and marble-inspired textures, I sought to create an atmosphere of serene elgance. Vesuvius is the name of the spa that is located within the heart of the hotel. Inspired by the thought that Roman goddesses would have used this iconic volcano as their sauna, most of the products I created for Vesuvius are volcanically-infused.
1. Create a sanctuary for busy women ages 40-55 who need an escape from the daily grind
2. Design a sub-brand that supports the concept of Minerva Spa Retreat
3. Create elegantly unique collateral for the products of both brands
solution Bring back the mythology of Sulis Minerva while celebrating that every woman should be treated like a goddess. I needed a classical roman typeface with a feminine touch so Garamond was perfect for the logo. I paired it with Sweet Sans to bring it into the modern age but still keep the elegant feel. I used marble textures to reference

star trek overview
objective
A military-recruitment inspired branding project for a Star Trek Convention. Specialty/ nichĂŠ conventions are on the rise, especially with the popularity of Comic-Con in San Diego. This project was inspired by my love for this franchise as well as the vast greatness of outer space. I strived to create an experience that was as close as one could get to becoming a Starfleet cadet while engaging all fans to boldy go where no one has gone before.
1. Create an engaging brand campaign for the Star Trek Conventions
2. Make a companion phone app that aids in the enjoyment of the convention goer
3. Create collateral that makes the user feel like a recruited cadet in Starfleet
solution After researching military recruitment posters, I created my own set of posters featuring the main characters from the original series of Star Trek. I chose Klavika for it’s technical feel with a humanistic touch. The color palette is derived
director: Sean Bacon
from uniforms worn on the show as it helps
photographer: Nicole Espinoza
differentiate divisions within Starfleet. These
date of incident: April 2013
colors are used in the app as well as other
key words: Fun, Space, Nerdy, Bold
collateral to make the experience tailored to fit the user. I did competitive research on other
color palette:
convention apps through the App Store, finding
typefaces: Klavika, Roddenberry
out what worked and what was problematic through the app reviews.
for internal use only User Experience The goal was to create a
entertainment, educational,
memorable experience to further
escapism, and aesthetic. Not
bond the user with the brand.
only is the app a helpful tool to
Convention-goers already love
navigate the convention, it also
the brand and now this is as close
enhances the brand experience
as they can get to being a real
and creates an indelible
Starfleet cadet. User experience
