World Aids Day Thumbnail World Aids Day

Overview

To support ERC’s participation in World AIDS Day 2020, I created a cohesive digital campaign in collaboration with the Atlanta chapter of Delta Sigma Theta. The goal was to raise awareness, drive online engagement, and create a sense of empowerment during the first fully virtual event of its kind for ERC.

Challenge

ERC had never hosted a fully virtual event before, and their existing design elements were inconsistent across platforms. This lack of visual cohesion weakened brand recognition and led to lower engagement. They needed a clear, unified visual identity that worked across both organizations’ social channels and could be quickly deployed.

Goals

Design a campaign that:

  • Educated the community about HIV/AIDS awareness,
  • Maintained cultural sensitivity and represented both organizations fairly,
  • Increased engagement across Instagram and Facebook,
  • Could be easily shared and reused by both ERC and Delta Sigma Theta.

Solution

The final campaign included dozens of Instagram and Facebook posts featuring event reminders, HIV awareness facts, and calls to action. I was able to create custom event posters that were optimized for multiple platforms as well as templates for future use. We were able to create a unified visual identity that connected ERC's and Delta Sigma Theta's branding.
Visually, the campaign used bold typography, strong red accents (symbolic of HIV/AIDS awareness), and clean layouts designed for mobile consumption.

McDonalds Thumbnail McDonald Redesign

Overview

McDonald’s is an American fast-food chain known for delivering meals quickly and consistently for over 80 years. Its iconic golden arches, originally part of the restaurant’s architecture, have become a global cultural symbol. This project explores a “what if” scenario: What if McDonald’s positioned itself as a luxury dining brand instead of fast food?

Challenge

McDonald's is universally recognized as approachable and affordable, not upscale. The design needed to balance familiarity with a new luxuious identity The golden arches had to remain iconic, but feel more refined.

Goals

To reimagine McDonald's visual identity in a way that conveys sophisticated, quality, and cultural resonance, while respecting the nostalgic elements of the brand.

The Approach

1. Logo Evolution

  • Simplified and streamlined the golden arches
  • Created a font that felt sleek and intentional with an upscale finish.

2. Color Palette

The color palette pulls from the original design, but with a much warmer red and gold color to signify elegance and exclusivity.

2. Typography

I chose a serif-typeface with clean lines that evoke a sense of luxury dining.

2. Real Applications

A collection of mockups from menu design, to packaging which were all updated to align with the luxe concept.

90's themed weather app Thumbnail 90's Weather Forecast

Overview

This project is a fully functional weather application built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a public weather API. The unique twist: instead of a modern UI, the app embraces a retro 90's aesthetic, complete with bright pastel gradients, and pixel-style UI elements that bring a nostaligic twist to the weather.

Challenge

Many weather apps look generic, with minimal design differentiation.I needed to balance functionality (clear data, responsive layout) with a retro 90s aesthetic (bold colors, pixel fonts, playful graphics), all while ensuring the design feels nostalgic without sacrificing usability.

Goals

To combine technical skills in API integration and front-end development with a creative visual design. The objective was to deliver real-time weather data in a fun, engaging way that stands out from typical weather apps.

The Approach

1. API Integration

  • Pulled live data for temperation, conditions, "feels like", wind speed, and humidity.
  • Added an hourly forecast with weather icons.

2. UI & Retro Design

  • Gradient style heading with a search bar and pixel-inspired buttons.
  • Use of popular squiggle design often seen on disposable cups in the 90's/
  • Pixel inspired typography and bold neon highlight text.
  • Playful weather icons with a cartoon vibe.

3. User Experience

  • Added the ability to easily search for your city.
  • Large centered temperature and condition that is easily seen.
  • Hourly forecase displayed in a timeline-style with icons and temperatures below it.

Summary

The final design offers live, accurate weather updates in a UI that feels nostalgic and fun. By leaning into 90's web nostalgia, the app stands apart from stand weather apps, offering a functional tool that is wrapped in a visually exciting experience. While showcasing my experience in API calls, responsive CSS and DOM manipulation.
