Project Pages — rs9 design

Selected Posters

Research & Development

Overview

Posters are the primary place where I experiment with new design ideas. Typesetting, composition, and the inclusion of 3D elements in a 2D environment have been my primary interests as of late.

Essential Takeaways

I always try to push creative boundaries whenever possible. I enjoy using type as form and integrating type and image together rather than treating them as separate page elements. My attention to alignment can clearly be seen here.

About

I am a versatile, detail-oriented, multi-disciplinary designer based in San José, CA. With a background in biochemistry, I bring a methodical approach to every project. My “whole brain” design mentality enables me to craft precise visual solutions. This approach empowers me to move with confidence in fast-paced environments. Iteration, prototyping, and critique are essential tools in my creative process. I see each project as a microcosm of design and information, where harmony is vital.

Design Principles

1. Excellent design includes all types of people.
2. Excellent design presents information with clarity.
3. Excellent design utilizes purposeful and powerful composition.
