Universe — Creative, Art Direction & Design

Universe is a website building platform that empowers everyone to build a website visually, with no coding knowledge required. 

As an Art Director and Designer at the company, I worked to implement the brand vision under numerous creative directors and eventually cemented the brand vision over a multi-year transitional period. I worked with brand and product designers to ensure that all materials produced for internal and external use stayed on brand. 

Identity, Campaigns, Digital, Ads, Photoshoots, Retail, Product Design, Template Design, Animation, Copy, and all aspects of brand design. 

Working alongside Joseph Cohen, Gus Lau, David McGillivray, Dave Pfluger, Daniel Ari Smith, Carlos Sanchez

Happy Family — Art Direction & Design

Happy Family was a community organization based in New York City with a mission of celebrating the Asian diaspora and deepening cross-cultural exchange through food, art, and education. Programming included an annual night market featuring Asian American artists and chefs; a film festival celebrating video work; an internet radio station; and an online cookbook of community sourced family recipes. 

As Art Director, I led the continuing development of the Happy Family brand identity as well as creating collateral for all events virtual and in person. I worked with Happy Family until the organization shut down at the end of 2023.

Identity, Campaigns, Digital, Fundraising, Presentation Design, and all other aspects of brand design.
