This is one of several "Geofilter" designs that I have created for Snapchat. A Snapchat Geofilter is a user uploaded design that can represent any public location within a photo/video taken on the app. After a design is accepted by Snapchat, users can choose to overlay the design on a photo to share their location with friends and family. This design can be used anywhere in DC and has been on Snapchat for almost two years. This is my most widely available filter and it has been used 2 million times and viewed 112 million times.

This is a graphic illustration of my high school that I designed for the school's annual student art magazine.

This is a logo for my Instagram restaurant blog, called DC Food Feed. This logo depicts the iconic DC flag by replacing both traditional stripes with utensils to represent the thriving food scene in the city.

I made this logo for my mom's neighborhood political organization, NOPE or Neighbors Organized for Power and Equality. This logo has supported the organization's online presence and has been printed on pins and stickers as well.

This is a Snapchat Geofilter design for Rock Creek Park, which spans much of DC. The design shows one of the park's iconic bridges, the Duke Ellington Bridge, in addition to the creek and wildlife. I enjoyed making this design, as it allowed me to contribute to the identity of one of my favorite parts of the city. It has been used 18,000 times and viewed 745,000 times.

This Snapchat Geofilter can be used anywhere in Midtown Manhattan. I created a few more complex variations of this design concept before deciding on this simpler presentation. Since being accepted by Snapchat, this design has been used 226,000 times and viewed 13 million times.

This Geofilter design is for the Dupont Circle neighborhood in DC. It incorporates the neighborhood's symbolic traffic circle into its name to present the area in a simple yet recognizable way. It has been used 200,000 times and viewed 11 million times.

After developing my film from a hiking trip in Sedona, Arizona, I notice how these two images appeared to be continuous in certain areas when placed side by side. Though it was not intentional, I thought this appearance made for an interesting way to display these photos. It reminded me that photography doesn't always have to be planned.

I drew this scene of a Metro stop in downtown DC because I have always admired the geometric pattern that lines the ceiling of each stop. I felt that this scene was a strong subject I could use to improve my drawing abilities as it was both technically challenging and personally significant.

This is my most recent drawing. I feel that this piece displays my progress as an artist in my technical abilities since I began drawing a short time ago. Practicing drawing has been very fulfilling and I am excited to improve on my skills, as I hope to use them more in my work.

This image is part of a series I shot that was inspired by the works of Eugene Atget, a 19th-century French architectural photographer. Atget's work captured the beauty of "old Paris" as the city underwent vast modernization at the turn of the 20th century. I was inspired by the theme of Atget's work as I have always been interested in the variety of old architecture around me in DC. After printing each photo in this series, I applied a sepia tone to each print to give it an older appearance, as well.

Earlier this year, I spent one day taking photos of random people sitting on a stool I carried around town. The idea was to find different people in different places, all brought together by one common object: the stool beneath them. In some ways, I drew inspiration from the Humans of New York Instagram page; instead of captioning my pictures with information about each person, I let the images speak for themselves.

This is part of an eight image series (along with the following piece) that explores the theme of contrast. This image and the project as a whole convey the contrast between the appearance of our words and the concepts they represent. I wanted this photo to display how the signs we see on a daily basis influence our behavior and understanding of our environment, even though we rarely think about their importance.

This image continues the theme of contrast by exploring the broader meaning of sight beyond the use of one's eyes to see. I hoped to convey that the ideas and images that exist in our minds, but have not yet been created, are still a part of an individual's sense of sight as our ideas are the foundation of how we express ourselves.
