Community Comics Project
Illustrated four family-friendly comics that depict the values of Austin’s local Hispanic community. The goal of this project was to bridge communication barriers created by language and age using visual storytelling to convey emotion. The stories depicted are based on testimonials from the community. These comics will eventually be displayed on signs in a local park!

UT Summer Marketing Pre-roll Animation
Project Overview: For this project, I worked with two design team members to create a 30 second animation that advertises UT’s Summer Online Courses. The animation plays before online courses held in the Spring to encourage students to get ahead in their degree by signing up for summer classes.
My role was to create assets (characters and backgrounds) and assist in storyboarding.
Characters
Our first step was to create all the assets, starting with characters. We found some base templates from Adobe Stock that we then modified to fit our needs. We edited the clothing, faces, and organized the Illustrator layers for animation in After Effects.
We divided up the environments we were making. I was tasked with creating a park background that includes the Austin city skyline.
Backgrounds
I also created a storyboard of the final scene showing a group of triumphant graduates and a call to action!
Storyboard
Student Employee Roster Posters
Created two posters featuring the names, headshots, and departments of all LAITS student employees. The Spring 2025 theme was movie theater concession stand with each department represented by a different candy.

Initial mockups of thumbnail 4
After receiving feedback from the professor that the logo could be misread as a gyroscope or globe, we pivoted to a galaxy design.
The final chosen design!
