During the summer of 2017, I took part in a remote design internship for a startup called Youii. It was meant to be an Uber made specifically for college students, with a subscription plan. One of the projects I worked on was a social media graphics campaign. Below are some examples.

Graphics made using Adobe After Effects & Instagiffer
In 2018, one of my best friends was starting his final year of undergrad, and he requested some assistance with his fraternity’s promotions for next fall. Above is a promotional graphic for their rush events. Below is a 5 year anniversary logo I also helped create for them.

Eisegesis* – the process of interpreting a text or portion of text in such a way that the process introduces one’s own presuppositions, agendas, or biases into and onto the text.

Here are some of the other portraits taken in that alleyway.

*Confession: I googled “word for interpreting text” to find this word.
Day 2: LAts of things to do
Our second day (still in LA) was jam-packed with exciting activities and beautiful sights. I learned that Los Angeles is no Manhattan; rather than being connected by subway lines, LA is connected by interstates.

TIf you don’t like art, maybe you can enjoy the garden. If you don’t enjoy gardens, enjoy the view of the waterfall or the skyline.

California Trip
My brother and I embarked on a 9 day trip in California during the end of May 2017. We started in LA.
Day 1
My brother and I landed in LAX and drove to our hotel in Santa Monica. Then we took an uber to Venice downtown. We walked through the Venice canals, and then walked a few miles along the beach from “Muscle Beach” in Venice all the way to Santa Monica Pier. The sun set during the end of the walk by the pier, but my favorite part of this was how active and lively the people were along the. Along the 3 miles we walked, people were working out at muscle beach, playing beach volleyball, rugby, basketball, biking, skateboarding with their dog, rollerblading, etc. I loved the energy. Below is a map of our walk, and a group of photos taken during the day, of course.
