Client: LAITS
Task: Create a “We’re Hiring” flyer for the vSTA studio
Status: In-Progress
I don’t know much about videography, so I went online and looked for some inspiration. I really wanted something that was fun, eye-catching, and engaging.
After looking at these, I made some sketches for potential layouts.
I decided that I liked the top two layouts the best and decided to proceed fleshing out those designs. Here are some iterations!
Client: TGDP
Task: Create a set of banners to celebrate the 25th anniversary of TGDP
Status: In progress
Back with another round of TGDP banners! For this round, I got to play with new layouts (collages and statistics), as well as revisit some old ones (timelines).
Client: LAITS
Task: Create a poster showcasing all the Computer Support STAs with a Chutes and Ladders theme
Status: Complete
We wanted the poster to be as reminiscent of the game’s box cover as possible, so that was my main point of inspiration.
Here are my initial sketches and planning.
…and more iterations! For these, I worked out both making it look similar to the source art and adapting the look to best accommodate the photos of the STAs.
Once I got the actual photos, I could start working on the final version! It was tricky to try and get everyone in places that were logical, showed their faces, and had good contrast, but I think it turned out okay (most questionable ladder-climbing though…kids do not try this at home). I also added a balloon to match the original packaging.
We’re on our last week of summer and I’m excited to continue working as a design STA for the 2026 fall semester. This week has been a busy week for me. I’ve been working on 2 big projects that I have mentioned before in past blogs as well as a few small assignments. It’s a lot of work, but I’m happy to have something to keep me busy.
First, I’ll show the final results for the Collab Lab computer backgrounds. My art director had some feedback with the design and requested I make another one for the audio team with a separate and unique background. I really liked the artist that created the first one, so I went back to Adobe Stock to find more of their work. I landed on a red and blue design with similar patterns and movement to the first one. Credits to 3DJustincase on Adobe Stock for these beautiful works.
I enjoyed this small assignment, mostly because it was simple and was a good way to take a break from more challenging projects.
A few days ago, I received the audio files for the voting PSAs. With the audios, I was able to start working on timing and finalizing the animations. I’ve been putting most of my focus on transitions since the assets are mostly simple and minimalistic. I’m happy to say that I’m starting to find my work flow and have slowly started to improve in my efficiency since starting this.
So far, I only have a few of the animations partially complete. I’ve sent the below version to my art director and am currently waiting on feedback. While I wait, I’m working on finishing up the main movements of the animations for the other versions.
As the summer comes to an end, I will begin preparing for the fall semester. I’m extremely excited to see what new experiences this school year will bring.

The Swedish Studies program was searching for a sticker design and I was given the opportunity to make the vision come to life! The client had some requirements being:
.
.
I first started by sketching some potential designs focusing on a kiss cut, circle, and square shape. I wanted to see how much I can explore when it came to the layout of the sticker since the fish will be the main focal point.
.
.
Transforming my sketches to vector images was quite fun! It’s always great to get some more experience in Illustrator and learn more about the platform. Plus I think the initial fish design turned out really cute.
.
.
After I created the initial designs I got feedback from De’sha to try to hone in on realism rather than an illustrative design to be sure the fish is recognizable as the candy. From there, I replicated the shape of the candy and delved more into detail for the fish’s fins and scales!
.
.
After finalizing the candy fish, I created five designs that explored different sticker shapes and colors! Seeing the difference between the first iteration and the final iteration was so cool to see! I think the realistic approach was the route to go!
.
.
Next, I created some design mockups of the stickers and it was time to create the design proposal to send off to the client!
.
.
Now it was off to send to the client and await for her feedback! I’m so happy I was able to join this project and get more experience in logo design! It’s so fun to work with vectors and see the finished product!

I revisited the KB website wireframes I did and iterated on them to produce the hi-fi frames! What was challenging was figuring how to build consistency amongst the training pages since different authors made different trainings. On the other hand, creating the icons and layouts was fun and brings a lot of visual variety to the hi-fi home page!
