On average Seattle, WA gets only 80 non-rainy days a year. This was one of
those rare cloudless moments and the shot was taken from a ferry.

The picture in the middle was part of a photography
assignment to manipulate the landscape. The evening sky
reflecting off a puddle on the tennis court reminded me of
a poem about the smallest, deepest lake being mistaken
for a puddle so I floated an origami boat to capture this
image. The image on the right was captured at 4s shutter
speed. I ran around the pipe with an LED flashlight while
the shutter was left open on a tripod.

Within every man and woman a secret is hidden, and as a photographer
it is my task to reveal it if I can. The revelation, if it comes at all, will come
in a small fraction of a second with an unconscious gesture, a gleam of
the eye, a brief lifting of the mask that all humans wear to conceal their
innermost selves from the world. In that fleeting interval of opportunity the
photographer must act or lose his prize.- Yousuf Karsh

The process of splitting the headlight
assembly open to paint the inside is
commonly known as the Joey Mod. Due to
the high melting point of the adhesive, a
dremel was used to cut the plastic rather
than attempt to pry apart a hot headlight.
After painting the chrome parts with a
heat-resistant coating, the unit was resealed
carefully. The interior trim also was sandedand coated using a protective material.

This accordian photo book tookcombination of skills from origami,
bookmaking, and photography to
make. Using photographed facial
features from fifteen individuals
of various racial, age, and gender
groups, I mixed and matched them
to create the finished product.

I volunteer as one of the associates for
the Networking Department for an
organization known as GYC. Among
other things, GYC holds an annual youth
leadership and training conference and
this year, I was tasked with organizing
a race in Seattle, Washington. To assist
with runner identification and event
branding, I designed the tshirts in
Adobe Illustrator.
The simple, two-color screen printedshirts looked good on the crowd of
people who got up early on a cold
New Years Day to jump start healthy
lifestyle resolutions.
What better way to start the new year than to participate in a 5K race to
kick off your healthy lifestyle goals and resolutions?

Screen printing tshirts is cost
effective and quick, but the process
of emulsion and developing screens
require the use of harsh chemicals.
The tshirts that I design and create
are screened and heat-pressed
using vinyl. A Graphtec plotter is
used to make a vinyl template that
can be lifted and peeled off after
use. Not only is it cheap and fast,
but its also good stewardship of the
environment.

Although I completed the majority of these projects without pay, the opportunities
and exposure to the work was invaluable.

Most brochure requests are for
trifold or four-panel roll-folds,
but the CAMPUS brochure
project came with an interesting
design challenge. Due to
frequent changes in personnel
and program, they wanted to get
brochures that could be easily
modifed without incurring large
reproduction costs. The solution
that developed combined the
conventional trifold into a jacket
with a custom die-cut tab to
hold in rack cards that contained
information on the organization.
Essential information went on
the jacket and temporary or
short-term information went on
the cards.

During the summer of 2007, I had
the opportunity to intern with
CAMPUS p.r.e.s.s., the publication
wing of a then Ann Arbor-based
organization. I took courses on
Adobe InDesign and learned about
typography while working on a
manual for the organization. Other
book projects followed and I was
entrusted with the layout and
design and worked with publishers
to produce three published books
(ranging from 100 to 300+ page
count) as well as product catalogs
for literature companies and video
producers.
The experience from that summer
has proved useful in the 32-page
program booklet project I completed
for a 8000-member international
youth conference. The booklet
contained organization information,
seminar and plenary session details,
and re-created conference center
maps. The final product was printed
on 70# gloss stock with a 10pt cover.
Software used in the process of
creating this booklet as well as all
the other printed work on page 20
were Adobe InDesign, Illustrator,
and Photoshop.

In the last year and a half, the amount of
Pinterest research that went into creating
save-the-date cards, invitations, reception
menus, and programs could get me a gold
medal if Pinterest-ing wedding stuff was
an Olympic event.
The above cards were designed with cost in
mind. To minimize costs, a postcard-style
save-the-date were mailed and invitations
were also two double-sided squares with
a detachable RSVP tab. To save on return
postage, QR codes for online RSVP was
included.
The cards on page 22 were done using
illustrations created digitaly. The bride
and groom requested a cartoon-motif
and the resulting characters were used in
the invitations, reception menus, and in
the guestbook. The thumbprint tree were
printed on a 24 x 36 canvass and once
pink thumbprint leaves were inked, the
canvas was framed for the new family to
hang up.
These invitations were done with dual
languages and I also did the wedding
website bilingually.

Using geometric shapes constructed out of Bristol
paper, an aggregate composition was developed.
The overall form was to not only emphasize the
object itself but a negative space as seen in the
photo above.

The project progressed from a geometric aggregate
made of paper to a basswood model of our vision and
interpretation of the negative space. The sterotomic
feel of the original model was reinforced by section cut
drawings and the basswood model became an expression
of how a plane transitions into a wrapper or container.

instance, look at all the space that can be used to hold napkins!

A study of intersecting volumes led to an
examination of the work by renowned American
sculptor, painter, and architect, Tony Smith. The
objective was to create an isolation shed for a small
child with TB. The picture here is the section cuts of
the sketch model on the next two pages.
Based on these cross sections and longitudinal
sections, a wire frame model was constructedusing piano wire and soldering techniques. The
accuracy of the drawings (or the lack thereof)
were evident as the model came together and
revisions were made.
