Contributions & Influence
Student Leadership and Giving Back
I enjoy both giving back to the institutions that have helped me throughout the years, and non-profit institutions or initiatives in New York City. Some institutions I regularly volunteer, attend as a panelist or workshop professional, or contributor to a project are the City University of New York Borough of Manhattan Community College (CUNY BMCC), Urban Arts - Game Studio, Governor's Committee on Scholastic Achievement (GCSA), and New York University (NYU).
Below are a variation of my design influencing or inspiring other departments, students, or intuitions. In addition to some of my work/ contributions.

Preferred Design - Draft
Collaborative Work
My work and creative direction was edited by my team of seven to ten designers, processed and reviewed by the council (over forty people), and approved by the department (Deans, Directors, etc.) Other pieces were given to me within less than two hours for editing, modifying, general fixing, or a flare of creative element. Some of these designs are available for review below.

Both of these designs were modified to fit various social media dimensions, platform .png/ .jpeg, and newsletter requirements. Both were successful events. The design on the right requested heavy text based elements. I limited the text and added visuals to convey the overall message.
Past Panel Projects
Urban Arts - Game Studio
Alumni Panelists & Workshop
This wix presentation was designed to combine creative thinking with STEM development; created for high school students to evaluate their future portfolios, highlight their endeavors, and to explore desired or related career paths. Students were encouraged to add what they have now, work on things they enjoy or do within their spare time (fan art, video games, hobbies, etc.), and to use what they learn at Urban Arts to fill out their early-age educational or career portfolios.
The goal was to familiarize and teach design principles on a digital platform; such as but limited to, wix studio/ wixsite.
This art design presentation was designed to teach students about digital art and how to transform traditional work into a digital landscape. In addition to design principles, such as but not limited to, shading, line weight, perspective, animation tricks and tips, creative thinking, and design process. My work was shown as animation examples: skipping frames, slowing speed rates, and tricking the mind through smudges.
The goal was to inspire students to step out of their creative comfort zones and try new techniques through trial and error.
