Cognitive Map


This map breaks down the topics of my thoughts while driving from home to school. The line colors reflect the nature of the thought. I used a couple of elements from the artifact map to illustrate the physical position, the idea is that all the thoughts are escaping my skull involuntarily.

Weather Animation



Using aftereffects, I animated the climate and temperature of four cities over a three-day weekend. There are three segments of the animation, which organize the information by location, temperature (hierarchy), and days (time). The project is about using animation to make logical transitions between the three segments. It's still a work in progress.

Blue Squares Animation



This was just an in-class assignment to get the fell for adobe aftereffects.

Critical Mass Book










This is a graphic book that I made for image methodology. I don't remember the assignment but I created it to make visual connection between my favorite forms of expression. I used watercolor, scanning and photography, as well as some found imagery. The spreads I designed in photoshop and then compiled the book in indesign.

Scavenger Hunt


For Image Methodology I took a series of photographs that are linked by their graphic elements.

Transformations Project

For this projects I found three objects in my purse to scan and deconstruct in photoshop. Then I made a variety of collages with the pieces of the objects.

Typeface Specimen Book

I designed this book to showcase the typeface Avenir, which was designed by Adrian Frutiger in 1988. The text used in the samples was written by Elliott Earls in his essay "This Monkey's Gone to Heaven–If the Devil is Six then God is Seven." All the images were drawn in pen and scanned.
