A LITTLE BIT
OF WHAT I DO.
BRAND IDENTITY
Brand identity is an essential component of any successful business strategy. A strong visual identity enhances brand recognition and communicates the purpose of the business or entity to the world through color, typography, and form. This is achieved through establishing a code of visual guidelines, and adhering to them for consistency and legacy.
CRAFTING HANDMADE GOODS
I am handcrafting with clay, beads, and metals for Mochaflora, a brand I have been developing for the past few months. This brand is simply an outlet for me where I get to express myself and sharpen my crafting capabilities into useful and wearable accessories.
FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography is a form of story-telling that communicates emotion, energy, and time through light and dark. Compelling photography sets the tone of a brand. Fashion photography is not photography of clothes. It's poetic; editorial in the way that it appeals to our senses, and invites us to imagine a whole lifestyle in a matter of seconds when observing a single shot.
MURAL PAINTING
WHEN I FIRST BECAME INTERESTED IN PAINTING MURALS, IT WAS VERY DAUNTING TO ME. ALMOST SEEMED IMPOSSIBLE. BUT WHEN I HEARD THE SAYING, "IF YOU COULD DRAW IT SMALL, YOU COULD ALSO DRAW IT BIG." I TOOK THAT WITH ME, AND NEVER LOOKED BACK. ALL YOU NEED IS SOME CHALK, PAINTBRUSHES; AND SOMETIMES A PROJECTOR. SINCE THEN, I'VE PAINTED SMALL WALLS, BIG WALLS, SHORT WALLS, AND TALL WALLS.
VINYL DJING & TURNTABLISM
I WAS DJING CLUBS AND BARS IN BOTH NORCAL AND SOCAL FOR A FEW YEARS, AND I LEARNED A LOT DURING THAT TIME. MY STYLE TOOK A TURN WHEN I FINALLY HOOKED UP A PAIR OF HAND-ME-DOWN SL1200 TURNTABLES FROM MY COUSIN AND STARTED SCRATCHING ON VINYL. A SELF-STUDY CRASH COURSE ON QUICK MIX THEORY VIA YOUTUBE, SUMMER INTRO TO VINYL DJING CLASS, AND RECORD-DIGGING ADDICTION LATER, I MOSTLY JUST DJ ANALOG NOWADAYS.
