This video was created by my colleague Maureen Fura based on a workshop I gave about personal branding on the Internet.

Using Adobe Illustrator, I created this logo for the CATESOL Northern Regional Conference 2010. The theme of the conference was Changing Tides: Transformative Teaching & Learning. I was asked to create a logo that incorporated tides, teaching, and Monterey. The logo was used for flyers, programs, conference tote bags, and signage.

I designed this HTML/CSS prototype for Next Generation Nepal based on a mockup produced by an interaction designer.

I developed this interactive television advertising campaign as a design exercise. The assignment was to choose a brand that I feel could benefit from iTV, explain why, and then create a campaign for the brand. I chose Lady Gaga since she already has such a strong brand and iTV seemed like a natural next step.

You can also read the document that outlines my design process and shows the set of wireframes that I created for this project.

This design was created for the Alumni Relations Office at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. It was printed on business card-sized magnets that are handed out to promote the school’s alumni website. I was sent specific design elements that needed to be included: flags, the MIIS logo, and the alumni site’s URL.

This site was created as a design exercise for Google. I wanted to do something different than my previous version of the same exercise. The body copy I was given was nearly the same as when I did the exercise almost 2 years ago, so I freshened it up a bit to include more of Google’s collaboration tools that I would actually use to plan a vacation/trip. I checked my Delicious bookmarks for some design inspiration, came across some jquery sliders, and decided to give one of them a try.

This was my video audition for the Body Modification Ezine (BME) World Tour. This video acted as a cover letter and attempted to convince BME that I was a good fit for the tour in terms of both skills and personality. I was chosen as one of 18 finalists.

I created flyers, programs, and a large hanging sign for the TEDxMonterey event. I created these items using Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. I also assisted in the creation of the TEDxMonterey website, social media presences, and slidedeck.

I drew this portrait of my friend Mara for her to use as a branding element on her portfolio website.

I created this logo for the Monterey Institute to use to promote their campaign to gather 500 stories from students and alumni.
