Design Projects
The Davis Anime Club Collection
A series of designs made for the Davis Anime Club @ UC Davis
Objective: Crafting successful designs such as advertisements and T-shirts to effectively advertise the organization to raise club funds and attendance.
The Davis Anime Club, or DAC for short, was a student organization I myself participated in from the years 2019 - 2022. While I was only their dedicated designer for the 2021 - 2022 school year, I participated in the creation of designs all 3 years of my time in the organization. Everything from the annual Anime convention they hold to their last-minute flyers I had a hand in creating! This page is a compilation of the work that has been saved.
LA Metro Navigation Redesign
A project made for DES 154 @ UC Davis
Objective: Redesign the Los Angeles Metropolitan Subway System’s Wayfinding to be more accessible.
The Los Angeles Metropolitan Subway System has been an ever evolving place of public transit for decades. Because of the age of the system, many aspects put in place years ago in terms of accessibility have started to become heavily outdated. In this project, I had the idea to try to create some sort of wayfinding, signage, or user experiences that could make the everyday transit of both deaf people and the general populace a more pleasant experience.
+ Database App Design
A project made for DES 112 @ UC Davis
Objective: Creating a mock-up application to be used to help those in the LGBT+ Community learn and connect.
+Database (+DB for short) is a phone application that provides easy-to-find connections and resources regarding the greater LGBTQIA+ community. It provides a space for communities and individuals to meet each other with integrated social features, event planners, and more! Alongside this, users are able to access the application's crowd-sourced resources revolving around anything and everything LGBTQIA+ related!
Capulla Foods Brand Design
A project made for DES 116 @ UC Davis
Overview: Crafting Brand Guidelines and packaging for the fictional brand Capulla Foods LLC.
Capulla Foods, a fictional company created by me, was invented to create designs that thought outside the box. This company aimed to create delicious, sustainable food products that has a twist in its ingredients. This company would focus on food products that contained some sort of insectoid ingredient. During the design process of this project, it would be found that Capulla Foods would focus specifically on Tortillas de Gusano Rojo — a tortilla whose salt has been replaced with the insect salt replacement known as Gusano Rojo.
ChimMaya Event Poster
An advertisement for a now-defunct art Gallery
Overview: Crafting a successful design aimed at advertising the final art show at the closing gallery.
ChimMaya, a now-defunct art gallery, hosted a variety of artists over the decades of them being opened. With the owners getting older they had to decided to officially retire as of the winter of 2019. With this, They decided to have one last event to highlight their history and the many artists who have entered their doors. I myself was tasked to design a poster for them. While it unfortunately was unable to be used, I am extremely proud of what was made.
