Understanding Dark Web

"This project is a comic book exploration of the dark web and internet hacktivism, created as the final assignment for the Information Design course taken in fall 2024, taught by Lecturer Joel Rosen. The comic takes a deep dive into the hidden layers of the internet — detailing how the dark web functions, its dual role in empowering activism and enabling criminality, and real-life examples like Silk Road and Anonymous. Inspired by Scott McCloud's storytelling style, the work translates complex technical concepts into engaging, accessible narratives that invite viewers to reflect on the ethical dimensions of digital anonymity."

Caring for Your Heart During Survivorship After Pediatric Cancer 

"Although chemotherapy is an effective weapon in the fight against childhood cancer, treatment can lead to side effects that last long after a patient finishes their last round of chemotherapy. The combination of a visually illustrated education guide with access to supporting interactive 3D media was created to educate childhood cancer survivors and their families on how Anthracyclines, a type of chemotherapy drug, can damage the heart. Patient education through visual media aims to enhance audience engagement and anatomical understanding of complex medical topics. The education guide will teach the audience about the heart, explain the damage caused by Anthracyclines, and guide patients on how they can talk with their doctor to care for their heart after chemotherapy treatment."

Stick

"My work tackles the idea of home and the sense of belonging. It addresses my pain from displacement and not having a place to call home. To me, this photograph of a lone stick in the snow is a self-portrait. It is seemingly alone and out of place. What is beyond the horizon line cannot be seen, indicating the uncertainty of my future. I use photography to document and understand the world around me. It is also a way for me to communicate with myself and others, especially things that cannot be described in words."

Surfeit

"This scene reflects excessive and mindless overconsumption of media. There are two digital drawings of ponies superimposed on top of an image of 'My Little Pony' figurines. The bright, overwhelming colors, and layout of the surplus of toys bleeding over the sides of the canvas reflect the experience of chasing a nostalgic high to the point of disregard for the present moment."

Bearing Silence

"This sculpture explores the complex interplay between self-imposed and societal silencing of women's voices. Through carefully chosen feminist symbols the piece speaks to reproductive rights and bodily autonomy."

Pollute - NYT Editorial Illustration

"The assignment was to pick an article from the month of September from The New York Times and design an editorial illustration for it using only typography, limited to one to two words. My chosen article is about how urban birds are losing their vibrant colors in comparison to rural birds due to urban pollution. The image needed to communicate the idea of pollution affecting plumage in a simple yet striking way while still having an organic feel. I chose words that seemed the most important and made a compilation of rough sketches, deciding on the word ‘Pollute.' Playing with shape, color and the idea of a feather, I developed three refined images. After some group feedback, I switched from a hand-drawn to a realistic effect. I looked for feather typefaces and sketched out my own, but the most successful approach was individually generating letters using Adobe Firefly and manually kerning them. The final editorial illustration features the word on a white background at a 3:2 ratio. The final work uses a minimal amount of realistic looking feathers that smoothly transition from a light blue to a less-saturated blue-gray, reflecting the transition that the urban bird’s feathers undergo over time. The white background makes the word stand out to catch the audience’s attention and entice them to read the article without giving away too much."

Dazzle Dex Jewelry Organizer

"The 'Dazzle Dex' jewelry organizer opens like a book with screen 'pages' that flip for easy access earring storage, organization, and display."

The National Parks Foundation

"This triptych poster series was developed as part of the Design Systems course exploring large-scale outdoor advertising. The project began with a collage mining exercise, where inspiration imagery guided the direction of each student’s campaign. My chosen collage evoked themes of water, natural landscapes, and topography, which led me to create an imagined conservation fundraiser for the National Parks Foundation titled 'People in the Parks.' Rooted in the language of topographic maps and the textures of natural environments, the campaign centers around ideas of layering — both visually and conceptually. The final design combines elements from multiple early sketches to achieve a cut-paper, dimensional effect. The posters were created in Adobe Illustrator and visualized in context using LiveSurface mockups."

Entrée des convives

"The image, 'Entrée des Convives' is part of my ongoing project, 'The Summer-Land,' which explores my connection to my great-grandfather — a renowned classical music composer who found solace in the presence of taboo and darkness.
