Always Learning
Miscellaneous Makings
As a designer it's important to keep learning and pushing yourself. It's more than keeping up with trends; it's going where your uncomfortable until that becomes easy, then do it over again. This page is dedicated to those projects. The ones that may not fit into one specific category and can be changed out as often as needed. Whether it's learning a new skill or brushing up on those infrequently used, this page is a reminder to myself to keep learning.
Animation
As a UX designer I have built quite a few prototypes involving micro-animations, leading me to appreciate the level of detail put into each movement. Lately, I have been exploring adding motion to type and hand-lettering.
Aspiring Hand-letterer
This is a skill I know takes a lot of practice, but I love the freedom in exploring all the different ways letters can fit with one another.
Print & Package Design
My print portfolio, stationery and custom hand-made portfolio case. The case was designed to open both drawers simultaneously when one side was pulled, showcasing my print portfolio on one side, with stationery and business cards on the other. It's important to remember where you started, you never know where certain skills could come into play later on.
Illustrator
I still feel funny using this term, because my style isn't the most complex, but it's something I really enjoy. I drew a family members' home as a gift to start. Soon after, people I didn't know started asking me to drawn their homes. I have since started building my own custom wooden frames for these drawings and been asked to work of a couple of other small illustration projects.
