CURRENT OBSESSION: ASTRONOMY
I took an astronomy class last semester: Unfortunately, most of the content did not stick. I did fall in love with how beautiful planets are, though. I've also been obsessed with this grainy, flat-graphic style I saw in a tutorial recently on TikTok. We'll see what's next, but I'm still here currently.
2AM POSTER SERIES
I’ve always loved the early morning hours for the creative headspace they provide. This ongoing poster series is the result of those sessions, where I stepped away from the "rules" and indulged in experimentation. It’s a space for me to dive deep into textures and typography, exploring technical ideas that eventually find their way into my client work.
THE OTHER KITCHEN: An Artist's Book
I created this artist's book as a tribute to 60s-era recipe collections, containing ten whimsically absurd recipes. Housed in a handmade clamshell box with a silkscreened cover, the project was an exploration in collage, layout design, texture, and a bygone style I've always been fascinated with.
JELLIES MAGAZINE
A 90s-inspired Harajuku magazine exploring six rebellious concepts. As designer and photographer, I worked in a four-person team to take the project from initial conceptualization to final layout over the course of three months. The publication draw inspiration from archival, out-of-print Japanese magazines, aiming to pay homage to that iconic aesthetic while infusing it with a distinct, modern Los Angeles energy.
KOREATOWN PLAZA LOGO
This project reimagines the visual identity of Koreatown Plaza, a cornerstone of the Los Angeles Korean community since 1985. The proposal aims to modernize the brand through a new typographic lockup and color palette that honors the Plaza’s established presence.
