Google Pixel 6 x The New York Times

Take authentic, accurate portraits with Real Tone.

Portraits on Pixel represent the nuances of different skin tones for all people beautifully and authentically.

I had the great opportunity to illustrate for Google Pixel 6’s Real Tone feature. Featured as a full page ad throughout the week of Pixel 6’s launch, and illustration painted in the Pixel 6 Gallery at Google’s Store in Chelsea, NYC.

Art Director: Stella Na

Google Pixel 6

For the launch of Pixel 6, we leaned into the incredible advancements of Material You, the new user interface for Pixel. As the phone that truly adapts to you, we are made sure that all the creative reflected the individuality of our users.

Responsibilities included collaborating with a team of art directors, designers and writers through the ideation phase; presenting the concept to key stakeholders for approval; and working cross-functionally to create consistency across multiple channels (digital, retail, advertising).

Well-Read Black Girl

Well-Read Black Girl is a book club dedicated to Black women writers.

Our goal is to introduce a cohort of diverse writers to future generations – contemporary authors who are non-binary, queer, trans, and disabled. To address inequalities and improve communities through reading and reflecting on the works of Black women.

For this project I worked with WRBG founder Glory Edim on a rebrand for the book club and festival.

Ellevest

Ellevest was built by women, for women. The financial industry wasn’t. With a mission to get more money in the hands of women, I worked as a Brand Designer to make money visual. I led the design/editorial for the online magazine, working with our copywriter to produce new magazine art weekly, shared across social media and email newsletters. My goal in these pieces was to provide a capturing visual to the reader that would provide a view into the article and a better understanding of various financial topics.

For campaign work, I partnered with the Art Director to moodboard, concept, and work on set/ in house during campaign shoots, later used for various marketing and ads.

26 days of type

These were made for the Instagram based project, "26 Days of Type". I wanted to play with basic shapes and lines to create each letter, while making the viewer imagine how letters could look in different ways.
