VI. MARTIN’S COCINA Y CANTINA
• Woodbury Univeristy
IDES 382/635 Design Studio 6: Branding
• Softwares: Rhino, Lumion,& InDesign
The “Inside Out” project celebrates and supports independent brands—especially those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic— by reimagining their presence through outdoor environments. My concept focuses on Martin’s Restaurant, a family-owned business, by preserving its core brand identity while evolving the experience into a new, expressive outdoor space.
The design draws directly from insights gathered through partner interviews, translating the brand’s essence “inside out” using both 2D and 3D spatial strategies. This project explores how emotional and rational elements of branding can be expressed physically, establishing a strong connection between identity, experience, and environment.

Getty Images is a for-profit archive dedicated to preserving and distributing high-quality, proprietary photographs and digital media. Designed as both a functional workspace and a visual experience, the facility invites clients to explore curated collections of professional imagery available for licensing and inspiration.
At the heart of this concept is the camera—the essential optical tool that captures moments of significance, emotion, and history. Getty Images uses this powerful device to collect and preserve visual memories, connecting stories across time and space.
To reflect the camera’s influence, the design incorporates curved walls surrounding the display area, evoking the shape of a lens and drawing visitors into the experience. These organic forms create a sense of movement and discovery, encouraging visitors to stay present and explore. The rounded contours guide circulation and symbolize the continuous journey of capturing and sharing meaningful moments—always leaving viewers eager for more.
