VR Sketching Project

This is the most recent project I have been assigned to work on at my current job, as an Undergraduate Research Assistant, with the CSU Natural User Interaction Laboratory (NUI Lab). This project focuses on the use of controllers, microgestures, and voice commands in a virtual reality sketching software application that the NUI Lab is developing. For more information on the NUI Lab, visit our website at https://nuilab.org/.

A picture of an outdoor sunny, well-lit, trail in the middle of a large green forest with the path leading out in front of the viewer deeper into the forest.

VR Forest Project

This is the previous project I was assigned to as an Undergraduate Research Assistant for the NUI Lab. This project is currently researching which of the forest virtual environments provides the most relaxing effects on the viewer by measuring their heart rate and breathing rate, and by having them complete a few tests and surveys before and after a stressful task, and then before and after being in the environment. For more information on the NUI Lab, visit our website at https://nuilab.org/.

A large waterfall is cascading into a natural pool and is surrounded by cliffs with trees and grasses with it becoming more open as it gets closer to the viewer.

VR Chilean Forest Project

This project is a smaller version of the VR Forest Project. For this project, we are partnering with a medical group in Chile to create a soothing, relaxing version of the Forest Project, featuring a virtual environment similar to the forests native to Chile, for them to use to help younger patients relax during stressful activities.

Art Projects

A poster with a black background, the title Carmen in red at the top, and a pile of roses shaped like an anatomical human heart in the center.

Opera Poster

I made this poster for an assignment in which each person was assigned a different opera to research and create a theater poster for. This poster is about the opera Carmen. It focuses on Carmen’s bright, passionate relationship with Don Jose and the ominous foreshadowing of her death later in the story. I created the imagery using a mixture of photography and Photoshop.

  • An image of a rectangular black bag with three bottles and two jars of self-care products inside.
  • A picture of the five self-care products outside the bag to better display the labels and designs of the products.
  • An image of three of the bottles standing next to each other to show a more detailed shot of the brand design on them.
  • An image of two jars from the product line stacked and showing the brand on the labels.
  • An image of two bottles from the product line standing next to each other, one showing the front of the label and the other showing the back of the label.

Product Packaging

For this project, we were tasked with creating a product and its packaging. I created a company called Homebody for this project that would specialize in travel-sized self-care products. I created all the packaging labels for the Homebody products to create a cohesive, soothing visual aesthetic for the 5-piece kit and the individual bottles.

  • A dark blue square with the title Albemarle in white text at the top, a pair of gray glasses diagonally going across it, and the Leo constellation showing in one of the lenses of the glasses.

  • A page from the book with the same low-poly scenery of a truck driving on a road on both pages with the one on the left in black, gray, and white and the one on the right in full color.
  • A page from the book with an illustration of a glove that scans the scenery on the right and a low-poly image of a person with a cat on a sofa on the left.

Illustrated Book

This is an illustrated book I made using a short story provided by another department of CSU that had partnered with the graphic design program for this project. I worked with the author to create illustrations that matched the events in the story. I made the illustrations in Illustrator and the layouts in InDesign. I gave the environment a low-poly design to connect with the AI glasses the protagonist wears throughout the story.
