Working for Ben Goldman was a dream come true. I’m a big fan of glass art so when the opportunity came to vectorize Ben’s new logo I jumped on it. After working with Ben for around 4 weeks and after sending many iterations back and forth we settled on 6 final versions in both black and white SVG’s. This project was a lot of fun and I got to improve my work flow with Adobe illustrator which is a nice additive. Moving forward hopefully more opportunities will arise to work with Ben.

At Salesforce during the summer of 2019 i was asked to redesign an internal team logo for the Platform Solution Engineering team. Using Adobe Illustrator and the SF graphics kit for inspiration, I went through the entire design process during this project. I began with many iterative logos that had small differences and narrowed it down to a select few and from those few the whole platform team voted and decided on one logo. However once the team decided on a logo one of the team members pointed out that the winning logo wasn’t gender neutral so i made some quick edits and the final product is an on-brand gender neutral logo utilizing our mascots for the PTS team.

Not too long ago a friend approached me asking for my help developing a logo for the startup company he worked for. After several sessions of tweaking we were able to finish with this logo incorporating wiring and microchip pieces along the wall of a simple building.

For IDM Scripting I, I was tasked with creating a non responsive web based zodiac for desktop with a specific unique theme for the whole site and unique elements for each zodiac specifically. The site has buttons for each zodiac and an input for the user's birthday so the user can read each zodiac and also get their own. The goal of this project was to get familiar with Javascript in conjuction with HTML and CSS.

For IDM Scripting II, I was tasked with creating a fully responsive and dynamic cookbook website. Using HTML, CSS, PHP, and MySQL I created Just Another Cookbook which can be visited by clicking the link below. I also wrote a case study about the creation and process of making the site which can also be reached by clicking the provided link below. I am very proud of the finished product and hopefully you will enjoy it too!

For this project I was tasked with writing a user story based on a product of my chosing. Naturally I chose Xacto knives because I love the product. I started by writing user stories which I later turned into a narrative and script. I crafted a persona named James and jouney maps for him. I created all the assets in Adobe Illustrator and I used Adobe After Effects in order to animate the video. I recorded my own audio as well using myself for the narration. After 9 weeks of writing and editing I am very happy with the finished product. The final cut is above and also hosted on vimeo and if you click the link below you can watch it for yourself!
