- A complete identity design for the concept museum Sold, which showcases commercial art in true context, and Out, the museum's store. Completed for the Corcoran College of Art + Design, Fall 2012.Concept DescriptionGraphic design is successful when form and function meet. Design is not fine art; things are not made purely for their aesthetic beauty, but for a combination of beauty and function. Whether a branding campaign or an innovative new office chair, we all use design every day, yet very few of us are able to see the ins and outs of the design industry.The Museum of Commercial Art is an international design museum that serves to educate and inform the general public, as well as the design community, about the design industry. The museum will curate standout examples of design and present these pieces to the public with a focus on the purpose of the design, the way it was bought and sold, and how it is in use today.IdentityThe museum requires a delicate yet strong identity to be seen adjacent to the most innovative and successful designs of our time while not overpowering the pieces.The logo is set in a tall sans-serif font with the museum’s title at right, aligned with a grounding square. The shape is balanced yet not symmetric, bold but not dark.

NEXT at the Corcoran is a dynamic, interactive, and innovative presentation of work by the graduating students of the Corcoran College of Art + Design. NEXT includes both an exhibition of the thesis work of the Bachelor of Fine Arts class of 2013 and a showcase of the Masters of Arts degree programs at the Corcoran.
our design concept, Interweaving Connections, refers to how individuals interact, interweave, and intersect to create a unified community and networking system. the students of the Corcoran College of Art + Design make up this community.
this concept is best exemplified with simple pieces of string, with each string representing an individual. the path of the string mirrors the journey we take as artists and students during our four years at the Corcoran. as the strings overlap and converge they create a network that unifies us despite our differences in style, medium, and methods of expression. at the same time, the web it forms connotes the creative thought process that we, as
artists, experience.
the NEXT identity was a team project with Ashley Hopkins, Maribel Gray, Lauma Dinemann, Lita Ledesma, Kat White, Allie Nambo, Monica Chance, and myself along with Maria Habib, Design Director for the Corcoran Gallery.Exhibition Design, Graphic Design, Typography2013 -

Just before the 2012 elections, a group of Corcoran students launched a
game-changing ‘get out the vote’ campaign, Creer Es. A completely non-partisan and student-run campaign, Creer Es is Spanish for “to believe is.” We aim to encourage
and empower citizens by talking about beliefs, community, family and how they relate to voting.

Assignment: To illustrate our commute using any solution, 2D, 3D, etc.
My Solution: My commute is short but the traffic is terrible, pedestrians are everywhere, and it takes way too long. To give the viewer the experience of my commute, I created an impossible labyrinth game. The look is happy and whimsical because the scenery along my commute is in that vein. It is frustrating, the controls are backwards, and no one has won.Design, Multimedia, Toy Design2011 -
