Percy jackson hero of olympus


December 2023 marked the release of the long-awaited adaptation of Rick Riordan's beloved series 'Percy Jackson: Hero of Olympus.' I teamed up with Imaginary Forces to illustrate an epic main-on-end title sequence fit for the Gods. Merging Greek mythology with American landmarks, we take the audience on an epic road trip in classic Art Deco style.

Joshua Beer

Packaging and Brand Identity
Joshua Beer is a new crisp California lager brewed with love from Joshua Tree, California.

I embarked on this self-initiated project with two friends who share a deep appreciation for beer. We referenced Joshua Tree National Park as a point of inspiration and created a beer identity revolving around it.

The logo’s form is inspired by the park’s iconic boulder formations, while the color scheme is a reflection of the sandy and gravelly grounds. We paired the identity with playful illustrations that add a lighthearted and fun personality to the beer’s identity. Cheers, salud!












We carefully chose the Joshua tree’s iconic objects from each category to emphasize Joshua beer identity. Also, we tried different brush textures to find a perfect match with the Joshua Beer type logo.








SCI :Question Everything

Style Frames, Spot Narrative



“Trust Your Gut”
Harmful gut bacteria from unhealthy diet and lifestyle can activate one to form schizophrenia.

Like The Science Channel, we want to inform the latest scientific studies and discoveries that are not yet widely known. Although we all hear about the importance of gut flora health to our whole physical health, recently, researchers are rapidly uncovering new insights into the gut-brain connection. There have been studies that links gut bacteria to effect mental health. Our gut microbiome can influence everything from PTSD to brain inflamation to depression to schizophrenia.

Specifically for us, we will be bringing light on how a miniscule and seemingly harmless gut bacteria can drastically transform one’s life through schizo- phrenic episodes. By highlighting the overlooked flaws of our fast, instant, and unhealthy eating/binging culture, we want to bring awareness to the serious consequences that could negatively bring damge to our life not just physically but mentally as well.
