Pattern Making
[ 2024 ]

Historical Ornamentation Through a Single Motif.
This project explores how one motif can shift across cultures and histories through form and style. Also, the pattern-making process allowed me to deepen my understanding of visual hierarchy, which is a fundamental principle in design. The final patterns were implemented in packaging design to explore their practical application.

Through the Pane is the wayfinding group project addressing the tragic bird collisions we experienced firsthand. Birds frequently hit our Graphic Design
BFA 3 and MFA studio windows at CalArts, with most either dying or suffering internal injuries due to their small, fragile bodies. Our team, DeMAKe, aimed to foster empathy and save the lives of these birds by offering practical solutions.
