my latest projects
I believe that great design not only addresses the explicit needs of the product, but also the latent need for beauty in everyday life.
My love of art history allows me to draw from the work of great artists, connecting my designs—and the end user—to a broader creative tradition.

mooncha - brand identity & packaging design
Typesfaces TT Modernoir and Lubaline were selected for the header and subheader to establish bold, readable typography while referencing a playful Art Nouveau influence.
Each flavor uses a mix of lower-saturation tones and high-saturation accents to create visual contrast while balancing a calming and energetic feel.
MoonCha seeks to meld the playfulness of new-wave tea culture with traditional dry tea packaging, creating a product that feels just as fun and refreshing as a weekly tea run.

borderlands - brand identity & packaging design
This personal project is an homage my home, western
washington, and its thriving winery scene in the Puget Sound AVA (Agriculture Viticulture Area).
I combined the standard design practices of the wine industry with illustrations and motifs that convey this region's unique wines.
I chose to communicate the geographical features of the region, such as the Puget Sound, the Olympics, and Mount Baker to deepen the brand's connection to the land as a unique selling point.
Borderlands, thus, proudly declares itself a product of western Washington and asks you to discover it.
The brand elements are based off 19th century cartography. This not only fosters an old-world, high quality perception, but more importantly communicates the idea that by drinking Borderlands wine, you are expanding your taste like the growing edges of a map.
amira - product & brand design

This project allowed me to develop my skills as both a product designer and a graphic designer.
The goal of AMIRA was to create a brand and product inspired by concepts of "ancient beauty" - I wanted each customer to feel like they were unearthing something revered and ancient each time they used it.
Amira is Arabic for “princess” or “female leader,” and the bottle’s form reflects those ideas through a solid & strong silhouette. The handle evokes an egyptian lotus, a motif historically associated with renewal and resilience. This pattern is carried through the logo and bottle surface to establish a unified and consistent visual system.
