format: iphone app & website (09)
services: mobile interface and website design, branding
client: Yummy Melon Software

I finished up 2009 by collaborating with Yummy Melon on an iphone app and supporting website.
They had a great concept - create an app that lets your peeps know where you are, at the touch
of a button (via text message, Facebook, emaiI, or Twitter). I jumped in as an interface designer
for the app and stuck around to give direction on their company branding and website launch.

UC San Francisco
format: print, web and video (2005-10)
services: in-house multimedia design

I worked as an in-house designer for 5 years for UCSF. Our small team affords the wearing of multiple
hats and an involvement in many types of projects. In some campaigns I might design a print component,
a website, and Flash banner ads. Creating multi-platform concepts gives me a unique ability to craft
multiple element that come together to tell a story. Here are some selected design and concept solutions.

This ad ran as a series on the inside of intercampus shuttles. The goal was to make riders reconsider
the function of on-campus event centers, with a focus on renting space during off-hour and
weekend hours. Primary target audience being those with children who would rent space for parties.
Original dimensions for poster is 30 x 12 inches.





This ad campaign was a series of posters, sized 30 x 40 inches. The goal was to
make students, faculty and staff rethink the cultural events taking place on campus.
The use of young teens conveys a sence of excitement and freshness. The tag line,
"See the world with new eyes" is combined with a frank gaze, giving the viewer
pause to consider their own perceptions about their surroundings.





This annual promotional calendar is a collaborative design process where staff are invited to submit
photos and multiple designers are working in tandem to fulfill monthly layout and image selection.
A lot of fun.

services: concept, website design and animation
client: Marcos Udagawa

I had wanted to work with Marcos for a long time, after having been such a fan of his music. The
timing finally synched up and we have begun working on a website. I was super psyched to work
with Marcos' long time collaborator and designer Ashley Rurpecht who helped to guide our
vision and greatly contributed on the initial concepting. The Flash animation, as well as a current
schedule of events functions online, as the rest of the site comes together. The website:

Obama!
format: poster (09)

personal project

Over this new years holiday I was honeymooning in Thailand. Yesss. The physical distance gave
some time to think about the election and about this moment in US history. I was inspired to create
my own Obama images.
