Paris 2024 Olympic Posters

Inspired by iconic branding of the Munich 1972 Olympics by German designer Otl Aicher, this project is my playful take on recreating some favorite moments from the Paris 2024 Olympics in his signature style. Aicher’s posters are a masterclass in bold simplicity—vivid primary colors, geometric shapes, and clean sans-serif typography all working together in perfect harmony. I had fun channeling that precision and playfulness to reimagine the recent Olympics through this timeless lens.

I Voted Sticker

Though I'm not American, the "I voted" stickers from the 2024 election season inspired me to create my own. Influenced by vintage Americana ephemera and early 20th-century typography, I was drawn to the simple yet powerful design and wanted to add my own playful twist.

Hello World Book Project

Hello World: From Pixels to Progress, The Evolution of Web Design is a 50 page chapter book that I designed through crafting the text and image layout. Using the visual language of the early internet, I created three distinct chapters that followed the progression of the web.

All I Every Wanted Was Everything

Using elements of typographic hierarchy, colour theory, material composition and printing techniques I translated a personally significant mantra onto a physical design. The mantra I chose not only had an abstract meaning of overachieving, but a physical meaning of aspiring to own everything. Having this saying aptly printed on a shopping bag added to this literal meaning, touching on aspects of consumerism, overconsumption and wasteful practices.

Perriand OOH Campaign

Through showcasing iconic furniture pieces by female designers within a Constructivist, Destijl design system, I created a public facing campaign advertising Perriand Contemporary–a design museum highlighting women designers. The campaign champions inclusivity through design, inviting viewers to explore the rich heritage of women's contributions to Modernist design at Perriand.

In Praise of Shadows Interaction

Using an excerpt from Jun'ichirō Tanizaki’s 1933 book “In Praise of Shadows”, I made a web storytelling experience that allows users to read his work through a series of interactions. Heavily inspired by the concept of dichotomy between light and dark, the interactions not only serves as engaging tools for users to navigate the website, it also highlights the motifs and literary concepts of Tanizaki’s work.

NYT Motion Graphic Headlines

Inspired by this New York Times editorial piece, I created looping typographic motion graphics that function as both dynamic hero images and static visuals for social and print. This exercise explores how time-based design can enhance the clarity and impact of typographic messaging, particularly when communicating current events.
