Background
This resume was created for Nick Rodriguez, a high school senior looking for opportunities for his gap year.
Design Process
When designing resumes for people, I ask them to send 4-5 pictures that they think describes their personality and aesthetic. These were Nick’s:
How I design resumes is I have my clients write up all the information with their finalized wording. I see which sections are larger or smaller, and what would be the best way to represent the information. I then hand-sketch what I want the resumes to look like. These were my sketches for Nick’s resume:
Concept
Given his imagery, I was going for something clean, sleek, and bold. I was originally going to incorporate blue but he wanted a B&W resume. I used the boxes to give the resume an extremely organized feeling, and the title font emulates the theme as well.
Background
This t-shirt design was for CSWN’s Puzzle Day event. The shirt itself was supposed to be a puzzle. This was a collaborative project with Audrey Vincent.
Puzzle
The hints were as follows:
Find the lyric!
Album is enCODEd within the bird. - The dotted/dashed line of the bird corresponded to 1s and 0s which corresponded to the binary “spelling” of the name of the album “Playlist.”
Song is obvious, haven’t you heard? - The name of the song was “Puzzle.”
Reverse the time to get the word. - The date was written as 4:02 to make it seem like a time. The lyric was at time 2:04.
Concept
We made the shirt and the graphic emulate the album artwork to help aid the puzzle solving process:
Samar’s Engagement Party: Part 3
This project was to create all the signs needed for Samar’s Engagement party, from directional signs to name-tags. After seeing the first iteration, Samar decided she wanted to go with the other option I presented which was custom work to match the theme of the invitation. This post contains the final edits from the second iteration. The main theme of the edits were that the client wanted more a of a handmade feeling.
Concluding Thoughts
Overall, this was one of my more challenging clients due to the amount of things and edits she desired and the time in which she gave me to do them. Some of the things she asked to change I didn’t agree with from a design standpoint, but I knew that in the end, the output had to be to her liking. I learned a lot about how to conduct myself professionally and how to mitigate in the future some of the extremely frustrating situations I had to face.
Strictly speaking about the designs, I really enjoyed creating the designs I made for this project. It was an unusual project for me and refreshing to work with this type of aesthetic. At the end of the day, I’m extremely pleased with how these turned out.
Samar’s Engagement Party: Part 2
This project was to create all the signs needed for Samar’s Engagement party, from directional signs to name-tags. After seeing the first iteration, Samar decided she wanted to go with the other option I presented which was custom work to match the theme of the invitation.
I sent her these hand-sketched mockups for approval:
I incorporated the floral pattern throughout the designs in a more abstract form, also including more ornate arrows, lace, and foliage. I wanted them to look cohesive thematically but still be a different format.
I was most proud of the name tags & monogram, as I used their initials to form the shape of a heart. When a bride’s party and groom’s party name tags are by each other, they complete the monogram.
These are how they turned out:

Samar’s Engagement Party: Part 1
This project was to create all the signs needed for Samar’s Engagement party, from directional signs to name-tags.
She wanted the designs to match the invitation:
I asked her if she wanted this exact border on all of her designs or custom work that matches the theme of it and at first she was very explicit that she wanted the former. I took a vector trace of the border and produced works like the following:

Background
This resume was created for Weiyi Zhou, a freshman in CS.
Design Process
When designing resumes for people, I ask them to send 4-5 pictures that they think describes their personality and aesthetic. These were Weiyi’s:
Concept
Weiyi appreciates a clean aesthetic with a classic business feel. The two columns with the bisecting clock hand give the information a good organization with a more interesting divider. I chose fonts that would provide clean lines. The resume itself is quite striking with the blatant halves and a large name that would help him stand out.
Background
This resume was created for Reggie Hopton, a freshman in CS.
Design Process
When designing resumes for people, I ask them to send 4-5 pictures that they think describes their personality and aesthetic. Reggie sent a range from his favorite food (sushi) to a clock representing his pride in his time management to his favorite sport (soccer).
The largest challenge of this resume was because it had to make a small amount of information seem like more.
Concept
The overall effect of the resume is quite striking because it stands out and makes use of shapes and negative space.
Noticing a strong theme of circles, I used that motif in the resume. The large circle can appear to be like a clock with multiple hands or a sushi roll with chopsticks. The partial circle and the two lines also build his initials “RH.” I drew the endpoints of the lines to his work experience which he wanted to stress.
Background
This is the logo for a computer science mentoring program.
Concept
The logo incorporates the widely-used symbol for coding ‘</>’ using the 2 as the forward slash and the neon green that many terminals use.
Background
This resume was created for Neil Nachnani, a freshman in CS with a passion for sports.
Design Process
When designing resumes for people, I ask them to send 4-5 pictures that they think describes their personality and aesthetic. These were Neil’s:
Concept
Neil was trying to get an internship with a sports tech company, I decided to use some shapes that would echo basketball, such as the red lines and the other circles. I chose red because he is from San Fransisco and included a picture of the Golden Gate bridge. The lines also serve as visual cues for the important information.
For non-sports related positions, I made a toned-down version of the resume as well:
Background
This resume was created for Tomasz Parzadka, a freshman in CS with a passion for technology and gaming.
Concept
The concept of this resume was to use a technological aesthetic to give the viewer an immediate glimpse of the candidate. I achieved this using the bracketed titles and the keyboard-eqsue section in the bottom, as well as the blue color that is common in many interfaces on various operating systems.
The main challenge was ensuring that the resume looked full despite the lack of as much experience as older candidates. Using the boxes and padding allowed for that effect without seeming like a space filler.
Background
This was the logo for my freshman year dorm floor T-Shirts.
Background
This was created as a flyer to give out to gentleman wishing to rush the house of Lambda Phi Epsilon.
Concept
The greek letters were not allowed to be on the flyer itself, so I incorporated the name of the fraternity and the dragon, which is their symbol. Since there was a need to convey the difference between a callout and an event, I differentiated it graphically rather than making the flyer busier. The flyer size was 1/4th of a page of paper, so I had to ensure the text was readable even when small. Hence, I used a thicker font.
Improvements
The text detailing the requirements for the callouts and events should be spaced out more so the circles do not overlap the text.
Background
This representation of this fraternity’s letters was done to represent their colors and their symbol: the dragon.
Concept
I incorporated the dragon into the circle of the “Phi” to give the letters almost a logo-like feel.
Background
This logo was created for a startup that crowdsources professionals to people who want to pay them for advice, info, etc. based on an hourly rate.
Concept
Becuase the company was based on forming connections, I used the chat bubbles to represent conversations. They were similar in shape to Q’s so I incorported them into the letters.
Background
This logo was created for a startup that allows users to find the culinary spots that locals deem “hidden gems.”
Concept
The company was called Choco Cosmo after the rare flower species. I incorporated both the flower and a plate into the logo to represent the culinary aspect of the app and incorporate the company’s namesake. The plate doubled as the ‘C’ in both Choco and Cosmo. The “plate” portion of the logo can also be used as a square logo for thumbnails or favicons.
Design Process
After taking a vector trace of the flower, I arranged the flower within the curves that made the ‘C.’ I colored one of the curves to the same color of the text and the other the same color of the flower to denote that one was a letter and the other was a graphic.
Background
Youtopia is a platform for gamified service learning that gives users badges based off of completion of certain goals. This infographic was designed to replace the welcome email which was 4-5 paragraphs of text detailing how to start.
Concept
Using screenshots of the platform, I walked the user through seting up their first challenge, including links for more information and a more thorough breakdown.
