View Matchbook Design Series

Inspired by the midcentury art style, I developed a design series dedicated to imagining modern, local businesses in the style of the matchbooks of the 40’s/50’s. Through extensive research, I kept the style as true and authentic as possible, all the way down to the fonts used from the original filmotypes.

I aim to push the boundaries of visual storytelling and engage audiences through artistic applications of technology.

Education

American River College 2024/26

Transferring to UC Davis 2026 for Electrical Engineering & Theater double major

  • The Technical Theatre degree from American River College provides a broad overview of theatre with an emphasis on exploring the technical elements of theatre. Topics include stagecraft, lighting, costuming, makeup, sound, and puppetry, together with opportunities for practical participation in productions

  • This degree from American River College provides training in a multi-disciplinary field focusing on industrial automation. Topics include electricity, electronics, industrial motor controls, programmable logic controllers, robotics, AC/DC drives, mechanical design, and manufacturing technologies.

  • The certificate from American River College provides an overview of the application, programming, and design of robotic systems and components. It covers the theory and application of electronics, sensors, controllers, and robots. Various robotic platforms are used to give a wide understanding of all types of current and future systems.

  • This certificate from American River College provides training in basic electronics theory and applications, telecommunication copper and fiber optic systems, and surface mount soldering devices (SMD). It also includes schematic symbol interpretation and basic electronic troubleshooting. This certificate can be completed in one semester, making it an ideal stepping stone to the Advanced Electronics and Telecommunications certificate.
