A group of students, along with myself as Publicity Chair, founded the UC Irvine Outreach Clinics in 2008 to bring free healthcare to underserved, uninsured patients in Orange County. This was a massive undertaking, and our services included blood lab analyses, primary care check-ups, a stocked pharmacy with free medications, and referral services. The clinic later expanded to include opthalmology and psychiatry services. We were the first such student group to offer this at the University of California, Irvine, with support from the university and the School of Medicine and School of Nursing.

I created the brand identity in Adobe Illustrator, using paintbrushes to emphasize the art and compassion of medicine, and softening the stick-person into more fluid shapes. I wanted them to appear victorious, holding up a heart — since it reminded me of the passion and energy that drives my friends (especially in the PRIME-LC program for the Latino Community) to work with underserved, underprivileged patients. read more→

My dilemma: how do I introduce myself when there are so few quirky people who are practicing medicine, writing code, and creating graphic designs? I put a hint of scientific geekery in the form of a benzene ring (which, in organic chemistry, is taught as the quintessential molecule employing resonance as its stability) to also put forth my philosophy of bringing elements together in harmony. And, a little technical geekery in the form of a QR code, although I gotta say, so many people have them on their business card now that I should probably get some NFC cards instead! read more→

I photographed and designed a unique brochure in the form of postcards strung along a bright orange Tellme-branded keychain. Each postcard featured stories of individual employees and why university students should work for Tellme. Concept and management by Liz Ditty. :)

Created design for a Tellme "thank you" card from our CEO.

Created invitation, logo, and website registration for an internal Tellme Holiday Party.

Everyone loves urban-looking blotchy T-shirts, so to appeal to those who would normally by Abercrombie's $25+ T-shirts, I designed this for them. Created in Illustrator, with Don Hertzfeldt-inspired characters. A lot have been already sold. You can purchase a T-shirt from Upsilon Pi Epsilon. Greg Krimer, a friend, penned the tagline as an instructor teaching Scheme to Berkeley undergraduates. Carolen is my model here. :)

We needed some (better) eye-catching T-shirts for this year, so I opted for a retro-like style aided by the Engravers MT typeface and a pastel background. The icon within the hexagon was rendered in Maya Vector using an orthogonal camera, and butchered in Illustrator.
