"What is Dance?" highlights three distinct types of dance, each representing unique cultural and emotional expressions. The first form of dance focuses on ballet, showcasing its discipline and grace. The second explores Puerto Rican folkloric dance through Borinquen Dance Theatre, emphasizing cultural heritage and community. The third examines contemporary dance, revealing its fluidity and personal storytelling. Together, these styles demonstrate the diverse ways dance can connect individuals to tradition, express emotion, and build community.
I produced a photo essay on Puerto Rican youth in Rochester, exploring their cultural identities and the experience of growing up in an American suburb while preserving a strong connection to their heritage. This essay highlights their daily lives, challenges, and resilience.
I created a digital article using InDesign, where I selected a photo from my archive and organized the text into a clean, magazine-style layout. The focus was on balancing typography and imagery for an engaging, cohesive format.​
I was tasked with designing a kinetic type motion graphic in After Effects, using minimal graphics to ensure the typography was the main design element, resulting in a dynamic and visually compelling animation.
I collaborated with 23 North Bar in Ithaca, NY, to design a logo for their signage, along with branded t-shirts and glassware. The goal was to create a clean, modern brand with a hint of rustic style, helping the bar feel welcoming and recognizable to both regulars and newcomers.
As Vice President of Public Relations for the College Panhellenic Council, I led the branding for our fall 2024 recruitment themed, “You’ll Always Find Your Way Back Home.” I designed t-shirts, posters, and nametags that conveyed a nostalgic feel, welcoming participants with a sense of warmth and familiarity. Each design element worked together to create a memorable, cohesive look that highlighted the theme and made recruitment an inviting experience.
