THOUGHTS
The deconstruction of these images is meant to show the world fragmented, with the jellyfish representing thoughts/lives/personalities. The world is apparently all contained in a jar that a goddess delicately, and lovingly protects. This piece was designed in Adobe Photoshop.
Saturn City
Welcome to Saturn City (designed in Adobe Photoshop)! Saturn City was established in the year 3488, after the human colonization of the planet Saturn. This composite uses many images put together, with colors adjusted, to create the visual of a city located on the planet Saturn's ring.
The System
A short pixilation animation, edited in Adobe Premier, about the cat distribution system! This project was a collaboration between me and my classmates Mira Kowarsky and Jenna Porter.
Can't Have It!
This calligramme, designed in Adobe Illustrator, comedically describes not being able to get what you might want.
Stay Determined!
A reminder to stay hopeful and keep pushing, even when things aren't going how we might want them to. This piece has elements that are heavily based off of the 2015 RPG "Undertale", and includes music by the game's creator Toby Fox. This piece was created in Adobe Photoshop, and edited in Adobe Premier.

Above are various tutorial pieces that reflect the skills I’ve learned across various Adobe programs. In Photoshop, I explored tools like selection, adjustment layers, layer masking, FX filters, and custom brushes. I also worked with the Timeline for frame animation and became familiar with various tool panels.
In Illustrator, I learned how to use the pen and selection tools, fill and border colors, gradients, swatches, pathfinder tools, and text tools and effects. I also practiced using modify tools and downloading Adobe fonts to enhance my designs.
Some tutorials also introduced me to elements of photography, and I had the opportunity to use a camera as part of the learning process. These experiences have helped me build a strong foundation in both software and creative techniques.
