In this project, I created 3D-style pamphlets for Divine Word College using Adobe InDesign as the primary design tool, with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator for image editing and graphic enhancements. In addition, as a bilingual student, I translated the content into Burmese to better serve Burmese immigrant and Burmese American communities.

For this project, I created 4-panel, 3D-style pamphlet for Divine Word College using Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. I translated the content into Burmese to better serve Burmese communities. I took a leadership role in managing the project from design to final press printing of 5,000 copies. This was my first time leading a project through the full production process. Some challenges I overcame include alignment issues during printing, color adjustments, and deciding between gloss or matte finishes.

This zine project focuses on abstract photography. I enjoy looking at everyday objects in different ways and capturing their hidden beauty, shapes, and lines. Even normal things can become interesting when you see them from a new perspective.This project also reflects the feeling of being overwhelmed in social situations. It shows how the world can feel distorted, intense, and abstract during those moments.

This is a classroom project for a social media campaign. I used the Stanley brand, a favorite among college students for water tumblers, to highlight the product’s “cool factor.” I focused on making the ice look as realistic as possible, so the tumbler appears refreshing and visually appealing on social media. I used Adobe Illustrator to enhanced the images, text overlays and graphic details to keep the content modern and shareable.

This is one of my favorite projects that I designed entirely from scratch during my time as a Graphic Design Intern at Divine Word College. I created the full layout and visual concept independently using Canva, without relying on any premium templates or design elements.

This banner project was created during my internship with the Career Services Department at Northeast Iowa Community College. I designed the banner using Adobe Illustrator and incorporated a mockup to help my supervisor better visualize the final outcome.

Exploring layout, proportions, and composition within Adobe software was one of the most enjoyable parts of the process.

In this project, I created a series of traditional media-inspired postage stamps for my creative portfolio. The design is inspired by vintage postage stamps from 1990s Yangon, Myanmar.

In this project, I created both a desktop and mobile website for my final class project. I am still improving my coding skills, but I used HTML and CSS to build a responsive layout.
