Creating a brand is more than just fonts and colors, it’s curating an experience that feels authentic and trustworthy. As part of the interview process for a Graphic Design job, I created a logo, color palette, and mockup up 2 webpages for the fake brand, PotatoTater.

In this blog, I share the highlights of my inaugural venture into large-scale mural painting. I take you through the steps of client collaboration, the evolution from paper sketches to a digital masterpiece, and the process of reinforcing, priming, and selecting durable acrylic paints for an outdoor mural. From inventive painting techniques to the final sealing process, I hope reading this leaves you inspired and eager for your own artistic pursuits.

Way back in 2017, I decided to start a weekly watercolor journal. Inspired by other artists on instagram, I started this challenge for several reasons. For one, I wanted to improve my skills painting with watercolor. It’s a medium I’ve always admired but didn’t feel confident painting in.

Participating in the inktober challenge was something I had been looking forward to for years. What is inktober? 31 drawings in 31 days. Taking place in October every year, artists follow a list of prompts to draw something that emulates the word of the day. 

At CSUN I joined a student-run organization called VISCOM (VISual COMmunication) where students worked on design projects together in a collaborative environment. I was fortunate enough to work on projects for both on and off-campus clients, but MPAcc was by far the largest project.
