How we approach problems and decide to solve problems is the most important thing for a designer. If we can create a single frame, we can create a whole project, If we can read a word, we can read 2 and 3, and so on, we can read an entire book. That's how I see my works and process for this portfolio; everything started with simple steps, simple frames that led to the solutions for the final projects.

I created a futuristic TWA brand focused on developing future technology. I strived to create this new style based on the cutting-edge character and the bravado spirit of TWA. This new Identity can coexist in the future and can push the boundaries of the new possibilities.

Approach

Bring to life a defunct or dead brand

The soccer community brings healthy social relationships and fights the tech addiction routine of kids. I want people to realize how important it is for kids' mental and physical health to stay socially active and have fun while playing soccer designing a brand related to solving this problem.

Approach

Soccer and education fighting the tech addiction routine

I created an aggressive abstract wave feeling, inspired by the title "They came by their small skiffs" and this part "Ulysses joined them, weapons in hand, a smart helmet on his skull." For this design, I chose an energy drink brand inspired by Ulysses's name, connecting the poem and the feeling this design transmits.

Approach

Creating a brand inspired by a French poem.

I created a 10x10 book because it's appropriate for this type of photography book. I wanted to have a minimalistic and straightforward approach; It gives the needed attention to the imagery and makes it more exciting and engaging to look through.

Approach

Create a photography book for Karl Blossfeldt

I’m trying to bring something fun and attractive that is connected somehow with the past and present. Using Italian Renaissance oil paintings mixing it with a modern vibe somehow and ironic to the seriosity and rules of the Classic era, making it appropriate, fun, and attractive for the present.

Approach

Ihad to find a sign, identify the intention, identify a prospective audience, and envision alternate deliverables.
