Aquatic Life Divers is a boutique scuba diving shop based in Kona, Hawaii. The shop had multiple design projects, both print and digital, including signs, newsletters, brochures, and merchandise.
I used Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to strengthen the branding of the dive shop to stand out from its many competitors. I put myself in the customer’s shoes and implemented feedback from customers and management when creating signage, merchandise and more. This involved presenting my designs in multiple stages, from ideation to a ready to print/launch stage (See the work below).

Daily Bruin is UCLA’s student newspaper ranked in the top 20 college newspapers by Princeton Review. The design team managed the newspaper's print layout, PRIME Zine, and social media promotion.
I utilized InDesign on a monthly basis to adapt the newspaper’s style guide with every print cycle. I also leveraged Figma, Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator when creating social media posts and editing the Zine story designs (See the most recent PRIME Zine issue here, p. 6-9).
