HELLO, TYPOGRAPHY! Hello, Typography is a series to introduce children to the world

of design and typography. Kit includes a book, flash cards, and a

plush character featured in the series.

Hello, Typography was the first project that sparked my interest

in design for children.

DESIGN STUDIO Design Studio was an elective class available through CFC Summer

School; a program who’s goal was to enrich the community of Champaign

Urbana. The main aim of the class was to challenge students to be creative

through story-telling and production.

Each student created their own series that included a storybook, trading

cards, and a character realized in plush form.

kusamaKusama is a modern painter that is famous for her polka dots.

Using Kusama, I introduced pre-schoolers (ages 1-4) to the world of

modern art, pattern, and shape. Brief art history was explained by

using images and a Kusama puppet. The final project was inspired

by one of Kusama’s installation pieces, where she enveloped a space

completely with polka dots. Our students did the same on contact paper

with a myraid of paper dots.

ONE IN LOVEOIL is a conference that is held annually in the midwest.

The concept for 2013 was “Freedom Generation”. To communicate

the idea of freedom, I decided to use a handmade treatment for the

identity and print materials.

HOW TO SURVIVEHow to Survive is a show to welcome the incoming freshman class

to UIUC. The aim was to communicate friendliness, fun, and energy

in the promotional materials for HTS.
