About
Artist-designer-student working with interfaces, creative technology, and data.
Work Experience
I'm co-leading the digital marketing team for Pittsburgh’s largest annual fashion show with 1,000+ attendees.
I'm designing media and creative assets for Iris marketing, merchandise, and outreach. Iris Rover will be the first academic rover to explore the moon in 2023 — paving the way for lightweight alternatives to space exploration. 🌙
I customized webinar/presentation decks and UI/UX graphics across content networks to optimize branding, and integrated digital asset management systems with internal platforms. This involved designing team-specific dashboards, transferring 200+ assets, and simplifying metadata taxonomy.
Education
Concentrating in UI/UX and Electronic/Time-Based Media. Minor in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
Projects
I developed a Ruby-based web application for managing internal employee operations at a café. The system was built with a strong emphasis on the MVC (Model-View-Controller) structure and ensuring security measures to grant appropriate access levels for different user types.
I produced a two-player competitive typing video game inspired by arcade, ASCII, and terminal. My role as producer involved leading the creative direction and overseeing project development of the game.
I designed and developed a fully-responsive website for Pittsburgh's Duquesne Incline to learn HTML/CSS/Javascript. User stories, wireframes, and user testing was done to clarify site navigation.
Side Projects
An explorative vessel to play with the pseudo-anonymity of internet identity. I'm nurturing my childhood memories, anime-inspired fantasies, and nostalgic ideals with amalgamation doodles, stream-of-consciousness illustrations, and formal drawing studies on Instagram.
A website journey + video homage to ASCII art and how the internet draws boundaries between reality and fantasy.
Writing
A few articles that offer a glimpse into my design process/thinking and provide a bit of documentation on the steps involved in bringing a design from concept to fruition. Staying transparent and practicing articulation :-)
