GRAPHIC DESIGN

The following is a curated collection of graphic design works both personal and professional, reflecting my experimentation of styles, blending of influences, and internal creative expression. Each piece was crafted with the goal of delivering effective and tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of my clients.

The Maroon Bells travel poster was an exercise in formatting and spread design, where I explored unconventional approaches to hierarchy and intentionally broke the grid. The style was influenced by the work of graphic designer Jesse Nyberg.
