The Design Lab

As a Resident at The Design Lab at UCSD, I am training as a design consultant. I work with various departments, business owners, and students to develop effective solutions to design-related problems. I designed, manufactured, and installed the sign for our office using an in-house CNC. I am also leading the branding for a new program at UCSD called SPUR (Student Paid Undergraduate Research).

UCSD SURF CLUB

I have been the acting president for 3 years of the UCSD Surf Club, a student-run 400+ member club at UC San Diego. I have used this position as an opportunity to develop a brand which represents the surf culture at UCSD. This led me to a freelance opportunity to develop the 2023 merchandising for UCSD's competitive Surf Team. My social marketing work for the club can be seen @ucsdsurfclub on Instagram.

I worked as a Graphic Designer at EnviroCentric, a start up which aims to inform the public on concepts such as upcycling and sustainable living. I developed these logos for them to utilize within their merchandising, waste bins, and social media. I am also currently working with them on a side project to design packaging for their newest product: a recycled surf wax called Ptero Wax.

Flopp Clothing

For Love of People and Planet. Flopp was a clothing brand start-up I began in 2017 and ran throughout the first half of 2019. It was my first introduction into the field of branding, logo design, and merchandising. I used proceeds of the flower shirts shown left below to develop green spaces on my campus at Sage Creek High School Much of its marketing was done through instagram @floppclothing.
