Event design, poster campaigns, and visual identity across programs, hackathons, and campus activations. Graphic work that brought people together.
As creative lead and faculty advisor since 2022, I designed all promotional materials and visual identities across events and programs. Posters, event pages, social media graphics, and campaigns. The design work was the front door. Students walked through it and became part of something.
Digital Design for Sustainability
A two-part event combining an industry speaker series with a hands-on design challenge. Students tackled UX solutions for climate change and sustainability. The event was a true collaborative effort: I co-designed the event identity and graphics with Bryan Nguyen, who also created the event logo. Additionally, I co-organized the event with John Dela Cruz, sharing responsibilities ranging from speaker recruitment to day-of-event planning.

Climate VR Series and Hackathon
A recurring series held each year around Earth Day, exploring VR and AR as tools for climate storytelling. Students use Adobe Aero to create immersive experiences visualizing environmental impact. I design the event identity each year: poster, social graphics, and promotional materials, and organize the event from speaker outreach to the final challenge.

AI for Good, Pan-Pacific Creative Jam
A global design challenge co-hosted by SJSU and Swinburne University of Technology in Australia. Over 70 students across 19 teams created campaigns exploring the human side of AI. I designed the event identity (poster, banner, and social media campaign), collaborated with Miriam Weber on event materials, and organized the competition in collaboration with John Dela Cruz on speaker recruitment and day-of-event planning.

More than a design challenge, it was a platform for student voices to reimagine the role of technology in our future.
Without Tina's collaborative spirit and tireless efforts, we would not have been able to make such a profound impact at SJSU.

International Mother Language Day Exhibition
An annual celebration of linguistic and cultural diversity, held each February at the San José Museum of Art. I have been the sole creative behind all marketing materials since founding the exhibition, from the original back illustration to posters, banners, postcards, and social media graphics, each year developed as a fresh identity while staying true to the spirit of the event.
Lemon Sprint
A beginner-friendly international design sprint for higher education students, focused on Social-Emotional Learning. Teams designed web prototypes in Adobe XD exploring emotional triggers and resilience during the pandemic. In collaboration with John Delacruz (Associate Professor at San José State University), Judy Wood (Graphic and Digital Media Professor at Humber College), and Leona Guidance from Adobe, I co-hosted the Lemon Sprint.
I co-designed the promotional materials, while Mona Korani designed the logo for the contest and created the motion graphics for the event promotion. The collaboration brought together graphic, motion, and event design into a cohesive campaign.
