This poster is about the changing face
of information design. As stated on the
poster: information is not flat anymore.
It takes didactic terms about layout and
transforms the flat vectors into a dense
3-dimensional kinetic intersection.

This collage is about the future of media content:
innovative, addictive, short form and mobile. I developed it
as the brand image and packaging for Warner Bros.
Studio 2.0. Though rejected, it found an appropriate place
in the opening sequence of AIGA'S NEXT Conference.

This poster is inspired by the Francis Ford Coppola
Film The Conversation. The typography evokes a sense of
isolation, paranoia and tension by enclosing the film's
protagonist, surveillance expert Harry Caul, in tight spaces.
To emphasize the raw and dirty world he operates in, the
poster is screen printed on craft paper. This poster was
featured in CMYK magazine and exhibited at the design
museum at U.C. Davis.

Sometimes artists use
objects symbolically…
here Freda replaces her
spinal column with a
brittle and worn out
Greek column to
signify the horriffic
tram accident she
suffered as a young
woman. She broke
nearly every bone in
her body and lived in
constant pain.
Numerous operations
didn’t relieve her
suffering.
