Our journey as designers has been deeply influenced by the communities that have shaped us, especially Los Angeles Trade Technical College, nestled in the heart of DTLA. This is more than just my alma mater—it’s where I discovered my passion for visual communication and honed the skills that continue to guide my creative process. The vibrant, diverse energy of LATTC and its commitment to hands-on learning played a pivotal role in shaping both my personal and professional growth.
LATTC Catalog Cover Design
LATTC Technology Enhancement Master Plan 2010 – Catalog Cover Design (published)
The cover of the Technology Enhancement Master Plan 2010 for Los Angeles Trade-Tech College blends modern architectural visuals with technical blueprint elements, reflecting the college’s commitment to innovation and growth. The gradient background transitions from cool blues to vibrant yellows, symbolizing the fusion of technology and progress.
The overlay of circuit-like patterns and architectural schematics highlights LATTC’s focus on technological advancement within its educational infrastructure. The bold, black LATTC logo with its signature red accent anchors the design, reinforcing the college’s strong identity. In the foreground, silhouettes of students bring a dynamic, community-driven feel, representing LATTC as not just a place of learning but a hub of collaboration and future-forward thinking in the heart of DTLA.

LATTC T-Shirt Design
LATTC T-Shirt Design Concept
This t-shirt design was created for Los Angeles Trade Technical College’s screen printing classes as lead by Bert Johnson, inspired by the college’s hands-on, creative spirit. The illustration features a hand seamlessly merging with tools —a paintbrush, wrench, and scissors—symbolizing the diverse vocational programs offered at LATTC, from graphic and fashion design and construction to culinary arts and beyond. 
The quote, "A heart to resolve, a head to contrive, and a hand to execute," reflects the balance of creativity and technical skill.
I explored two versions: a detailed full illustration and a bold halftone style optimized for screen-printing. The design’s minimal color palette, accented by LATTC’s signature logo, mirrors the college’s strong presence in DTLA and its impact on my own creative journey.
LATTC Digital Signage Design

LATTC Digital Signage Design

This digital signage system was designed for Los Angeles Trade Technical College and has been published and displayed across multiple campus locations. The design blends vibrant gradients, dynamic patterns, and bold color splashes to reflect LATTC’s energetic, diverse, and creative community.

Each screen layout balances informational clarity with visual impact, making key details like office hours, campus announcements, and student resources easily accessible. The consistent branding with the LATTC logo and welcoming message creates a cohesive identity across all displays, while the fluid design elements mirror the college’s focus on innovation and student engagement.

This project highlights my ability to create functional designs that are not only visually engaging but also enhance campus communication in a modern, student-friendly way.
