Big Night- Event Branding
Big Night is a modern twist on a traditional Armenian celebration, the Madagh. We come together to celebrate community and make space for the memory of those lost in the genocide. Many hands have come together to make this a space for fellowship through dancing, singing, and feasting.

Big Night invites those of all backgrounds and cultures to join in the blessings and the offerings of Armenian tradition.

Blender Motion Graphics  - Time Machine

Challenged to represent an abstract phrase, I used Blender to create a looped animation “Dreamt I Had a Time Machine.”

The intention is to change the perspective of a usuallysurprise and bring joy to a refelctive and somber saying.

Typeface Design - Cherish
I studied typography deeply to understand cohesive form and rhythm of letterforms. Patrick King, the designer of Chicago’s city typeface Big Shoulders, shared feedback and critiques during the process. This custom typeface is inspired by the ornamentals and historical reference of Art Nouveau and modern graffiti. While these two influences have vastly different applications and audiences, they share similar qualities that I wanted to highlight in one space.

Translating Helsinki
I explored Helsinki’s daily life and atmosphere through four walking tours, one in each district, documenting everything with photos, notes, and sketches. I continued this practice during my own adventures, following curiosity and cultural interest.

Immersing myself in a new city and paying attention to details brought forward many traits and subtleties. The challenge became choosing which ones could speak for Helsinki and how to express them.

These eight pages will appear in a collaborative publication with eight other students’ impressions.

Personal Glyphs
I designed custom glyphs that are my interpretation of different characteristics I associate with genuine-ness. The six qualities are adventerous, cheeky, dynamic, rational, sincere, and trusted. I then applied them to coasters as a modren cave to hold these glyphs in the real world. They capture care, togetherness, and sharing.
