Combating cynicism through competitive play!

Heyo is a puzzle game where players race against the clock to be the first to build paths between a set of colorful characters.

Heyo combats negative mindframes by challenging automatic thoughts through transference and cognitive reframing in its core gameplay and storytelling.

Shuffle the board and create loops between characters that appear in situation cards.

First to finish wins the round and starts the clock - place behind first before the time is up!

Situation cards follow the stories of each woodland friend while teaching cognitive behavioral therapeutic techniques.

A mockup of a pair of pins, one depicting Wels the owl and the other Mima the rabbit.

Each box comes with a standard sized enamel pin.

Made with a metal trim, each pin is ready for wear or display.

Pins come packaged on a recyclable cardboard, with an original design of each character.

Follow Heyo on all socials for updates and upcoming promotions!

Meet each character in a series of short animations posted on YouTube.​​​​​​​

A mockup of an eco-friendly Vaseline concept.

Unilever needed a sustainable solution to their Vaseline tubs; my team created its brand identity and marketed the idea.

We developed a refillable pod that lines the tub and can be conveniently disposed of once depleted, reducing overall waste. While keeping with Unilever’s established branding, we added holographic print in the subtitle to reinforce the Vaseline's familiarity and trust.

Its packaging features an informative infographic, providing clear, step-by-step instructions for consumers on how to use and recycle the product, enhancing both user experience and environmental impact.

RSPCA encourages families to learn more about pets; I designed their campaign to encourage reading.

I made a set of interactive bookmarks to help kids track their reading progress, with playful cat and dog icons they'd color in after every finished book. Kids can name a pet from RSPCA's shelters after redeeming their completed bookmark.

I also designed a flyer with simple, original illustrations on how to approach a nervous dog. Negative space was key to matching the message. RSPCA’s light blue and green colors highlight text for emphasis.

A mockup of a donation sheet for Shelterhouse.

Shelterhouse invests in providing necessary services to survivors of abuse; for their donation sheet, I showed their accessibility through infographics and open space.

I created simple, easy-to-understand icons for each service, making sure they were clear and straightforward so anyone could recognize them at a glance.

By incorporating negative space, I ensured the typography remained clean and free from clutter. The cover features a goldenrod background, chosen for its warm and welcoming feel, while the brand’s lavender and teal tones create a calming contrast, maintaining a cool and neutral aesthetic throughout.​​​​​​​

A mockup of a program booklet for AJF.

AJF held a week-long conference; for their itinerary and program booklet, visual clarity and balance were at the forefront.

By incorporating the brand's signature colors and typography, I highlighted key information while ensuring a cohesive flow throughout the booklet. Each page was carefully structured to maintain even visual weight, providing a polished and engaging user experience.

Plastic cutouts of two icons; one is an exclamation and the other is an elephant.

Presence: its how we interpret the world around us.

Semiotics shows us that we understand presence through positive and negative space, color, tonality, and other signifiers.

This book cover applies these core concepts through iconography.

Each symbol can be broken down into two parts: physical gesture versus a visual metonym.

Take for example the horse: its reins are illustrated by a person running, and the complete silhouette are that of a racing horse — distance and speed infers presence.

Showing presence through relation makes the cover thematically clear for any reader —

Light and shadow imply position, and creating each symbol with colored acrylic makes the presentation tactile.

An animated gif showing the process of animating the deer and illustrating the background in Clip Studio Paint.

Universität Wien's literary event ran several ads featuring aspects of linguistics; I was tasked with showcasing "stereotypes".

Illustrated and animated in Clip Studio Paint, I took an assumption that deer will only cross where their sign is and pushed it to absurdity.

Titled "Emperor's Hymn in D(eer) Major", the advertisement's melody takes inspiration from an Austrian classic.

Digitally composed in Soundtrap, with post-production and sound editing made in Adobe After Effects, I created this instrumental to accompany Emperor's Hymn's piano piece.

Over the river and through the wood, or so the story goes.

Work together through the wilderness and find local fiction through fateful encounters.

But your caravan only comes packed for three days — take to the thicket's center or be made into another myth.

Roll the die and turn the map over with each move; who knows what, or who, lies in the wilderness.

Contents include: 30 path markers, 12 figures, 9 tools, 1 set of die, and the game manual.

Through the Wood's paper standees were illustrated and precisely cut by hand, then mounted on a wire frame.

Each character's portrait is made up of layered cardstock glued together, creating dynamic silhouettes.

Developed in Game Maker Studio, Through the Wood's digital release is set for 2025.

Everything from rendering light sources onto normal maps through GSL and JavaScript to frame-by-frame pixel animations are made in engine.

State machines make each object react on point each time a state is called, and shaders have been made to create visual effects like the characters' shadows and the swaying grass.
