Print & Poster Designs

These poster and print explorations became an early foundation for how I think about visual communication, storytelling, hierarchy, and system driven design. While many of the pieces were created during my time at the Illinois Institute of Art Chicago, the work reflects a broader interest in creating experiences that simplify information while maintaining strong visual impact.

The Challenge

Across editorial layouts, infographics, and promotional poster systems, the focus remained consistent: creating work that communicates clearly, captures attention quickly, and balances structure with expressive visual design.

Many of these projects explored how complex information, layered messaging, and visual storytelling could coexist within highly constrained print formats. The challenge was not simply creating visually engaging posters, but designing communication systems that guide the viewer through information in ways that feel intuitive, memorable, and emotionally resonant.

Designing Information Through Visual Storytelling.

This infographic focused on transforming technical systems into approachable visual narratives.

By combining illustration, typography, labeling systems, and structured hierarchy, the piece turns a highly mechanical process into something easier to understand and engage with. The project reflects an early interest in simplifying complexity through design, a principle that continues to influence my work across digital products and large scale UX systems today.

Craft Through Detail and Composition.

Careful attention was given to spacing, typography, pacing, and composition throughout each piece.

Every element was designed to contribute to both clarity and visual rhythm, helping guide the viewer naturally through the content. The work explores how detail oriented systems thinking can strengthen not just usability, but the emotional impact of visual communication itself.

Exploring Identity Through Graphic Systems.

This poster series explored how typography, color, illustration, and structured layout systems could be used together to create bold and recognizable visual identities.

Inspired by the architectural energy and industrial history of Chicago, the work balances expressive composition with organized information design to create pieces that feel both graphic and purposeful.

Foundations in Design Thinking.

These explorations helped shape many of the principles that continue to influence my work today, including hierarchy, modular thinking, storytelling systems, and designing for communication at scale.

While rooted in print and poster design, the projects reflect an early understanding of how structure, usability, and visual expression can work together to create more meaningful experiences.
