Nuflours

Located in the Downtown Seattle area, Nuflours specializes in producing the best gluten-free baked goods in the area. For this project, the client requested a site redesign, along with the goal of more effectively presenting their wholesale options. I conducted the entirety of the design, front-end development, and integration with their existing Shopify storefront.

For this work, OpenEye’s request was for a character meeting the criteria of a “killer pen-guin.” This character was planned to be used for a sticker with an upcoming release of their surveillance software.

Pensel

For this project I was tasked with designing product packaging around a fictional brand. I decided to design my packaging around a technical pencil because of my love for illustration. I knew I wanted to design something simple while maintaining a high-end feeling. My intended product audience was for designers, artists, and professionals. Received an A+ grade.

Rocketeer

Rocketeer is a children's game that challenges players' balance, coordination, precision, and speed. It tests players by requiring them to stack rocket modules(wooden discs) upon one another as quickly as they can. Furthermore, the key performance metric for this project was the attention and onboarding ability of children. I collaborated and tested with elementary students from Windsor Elementary School.
