01 / Interface design

Haven

A mobile app proposal supporting LGBTQIA+ youth through the coming-out process. I contributed product and visual design, using bright, rainbow-inspired colors, welcoming illustrations, and reusable cards to organize educational activities and personal notes. The visual system balances warmth and clarity, with privacy controls designed for a sensitive context.

02 / Visual communication

Nederlands Dans Theater

An academic branding exploration translating contemporary dance into a visual language of “boundless” movement. As visual designer, I explored rhythm, repetition, and handwritten forms, layering fine lines over performance photography to suggest motion through time. The resulting direction extends across posters and digital compositions.

03 / Visual identity

TEDxSFU — Mosaic

As creative lead for TEDxSFU’s 2019 event, I developed an identity around “pieces coming together.” Modular geometric forms, luminous color, and connecting points express the gathering of different stories and perspectives. Across the poster series, individual shapes retain their character while belonging to a shared visual system.
