Creative Projects

Where logic meets play.

Beyond operational systems and the stage, I explore how design can facilitate social interaction. Whether I’m engineering the mechanics of a tabletop game or building a visual identity for a high-energy event series, my focus is on impact, engagement, and aesthetic consistency.

Project: Chef’s Turn Card Game
Status: In Development | Role: Co-Creator, Lead Designer, Illustrator

This tabletop project is an intensive study in large-scale asset management and instructional design. I am responsible for the end-to-end development of a 400-card deck, managing the balance between original fine art and complex mechanical logic.

  • High-Volume Illustration: Personally executed hand-drawn art for two-thirds of the deck, ensuring a consistent aesthetic across 260+ unique cards.
  • Information Design: Authored a comprehensive instruction pamphlet and designed a functional UI for the remaining cards, translating complex mechanics into a clear, intuitive player experience.
  • Branding & Production: Designed a unified visual identity, including card backs and layout templates, optimized for high-speed recognition during gameplay.
  • Systems Thinking: Managing the iterative “paring down” process of the base pack, making data-driven decisions on which mechanics and art assets provide the most value to the core player experience.

Current Phase: Optimization. Analyzing playtest data to pare down the 400-card library into a streamlined 1.0 base pack, prioritizing mechanical clarity and engagement density.

OSU Delta Tau Delta: Semester Brand Identity
Role: Lead Creative | 2025

I was tasked with developing a semester’s worth of visual assets for Delta Tau Delta, focusing on a rapid-response production cycle for social media. This required a “campaign” mindset – creating a recognizable brand while giving each individual event its own unique “vibe.”

  • Motion Graphics: Designed a series of high-energy Snapchat animations tailored for 2-second engagement windows.
  • Social Stills: Created 10+ Instagram assets optimized for mobile viewing, focusing on bold typography and high-contrast color theory.
  • The “Workhorse” Workflow: Managed a high-volume output of assets with tight deadlines, ensuring all files were optimized for platform-specific specs and ready for immediate deployment.
