This is one of my favorite illustrations. In the New York Magazine cover the goal of the assignment was to deliver the news that New York is open. We were encouraged to draw our favorite activities of when the city is open and I chose walking in the rain with an umbrella to visit Grandma. The clouds are parting and the rain is stopping which is intended to give a sense that it’s finally over. I added oranges because I usually envision orchards and a warm family meal when arriving at the house. It was suggested that the character would be in a red raincoat so it feels like a red riding hood, I added the basket to add to that theme.

Sweet & Squeaks used the finest peppers and produced them into a unique new creation jam with a bit of kick to the taste to help customers have a new choice of condiments that could compliment any dish. Our goal was to promote the brand’s jelly since it could complement any meal. Collaborated with Tiana Ou to create thank you and menu cards for the character. We rebranded the mascot with my illustrations because as a team we believed that the small business could interact with their community more by featuring fan work and rewarding the ones they like best with their sample jelly jam. Tiana and I chose colors that resembled closely to the mascot to choose animations for the Instagram post that the small business could use since they desired more content for their social media.

Collaborated with Professor Woolley, Professor Guzman and Jennie Zhu Pan to create illustrations for a stem manual. The purpose of this project is to create a collaboration between COMD students and STEM faculty mentors to provide a client-artist experience for COMD students. In collaboration, the team will help develop a visually engaging soil mechanics manuscript. By working with one COMD professor and one Civil Engineering professor, COMD students will gain knowledge in the area of soil mechanics and create engaging and visual work for the book. 

Technical information was discussed and exchanged with the client, art director, and students. Students relied on research and creativity to form and shape illustrations that are interactive and fit the subject matter, thus creating a process and finalized pieces that work well together in color and also translate well in black and white for the textbook.

Created banner illustrations for Openlab for the course City Tech 101 for the Spring 2022 semester. This is a course that was taught and created by Professor Paruolo and Professor Goodlad in Summer 2021. Students learn lessons on how to become a college student as well as study strategies and how to navigate college resources. Since they are having four classes I decided it would have been great to represent the four main buildings we have on campus. The process for creating these began with recreating the school mascot, the yellow jacket. Then it was suggested that the mascot should be doing various student activities.

For this illustration, my client wanted a character with white hair, yellow eyes, and wore leather, and had two swords as well as a shadow which represents her other personality. This character is a DnD character that they had created which wields the power of the moon. They asked for a blizzard for background and this was the final result.
