Food in Flight
Exhibition Design — Manetti Shrem Museum of Art


Link to Case Study
We were tasked with designing an exhibition for the Manetti Shrem Museum centered on the theme of ‘Travel.’ Our team created an exhibit showcasing the evolution of in-flight dining — conducting historical research, sourcing exhibition objects from archives, and developing a process book covering object curation, furniture and lighting specifications, and high-fidelity 3D renderings of the proposed space.

WeRconnected
UX/UI Front End Development WeRconnected is a mobile application designed to address digital inequity by combating the rising costs of internet access and hardware for students and professionals. The platform serves as a resource hub to ensure that essential digital tools remain accessible to all communities, regardless of economic barriers. I led the full-cycle front-end development using a user-centered design (UCD) process — from initial brainstorming and conceptualization through low-fidelity wireframes to high-fidelity interactive prototypes, with iterative rounds of user testing and problem-solving along the way.

Counternarratives
Event Poster — 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam WarTasked with commemorating the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War, our team explored the theme of ‘Counternarratives.’ We curated a double-feature screening to contrast the Western, dramatized portrayal of war with the raw, lived realities of those on the ground — pairing Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket with Michael Rubbo’s documentary The Sad Song of Yellow Skin to challenge the audience’s perception of historical memory. I designed the exhibition poster’s hero image as a digital illustration, recreating the look of an old-style double-feature poster with a simple, effective sans-serif hierarchy that keeps focus on the imagery.
