STEP ON POVERTY
Step on Poverty (SOP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that seeks to provide high school students with the opportunity to pursue their ambitions under the guidance of peers, mentors, and the principle of economic pragmatism. I founded the organization in the summer of 2016 along with a few high school students. Since then, the organization started and closed its Shoe Initiative, continues its Business Consulting and Environment Initiatives, and is in the midst of starting an Education Initiative.
With regard to graphic design, I created the entirety of the organization's graphic content including the logo, flyers, shirts, business cards, website, and social media campaigns. As the organization expanded and several students expressed interest in graphic design, I passed down my self taught knowledge to them so that they could take over my position as "head graphic designer". |

MICHIGAN FISHING
Michigan Fishing is the angling community at the University of Michigan officially founded in February of 2018. The organization is devoted to providing both fun and competitive angling opportunities supported by peers and sponsors. I currently serve on the organizations first board as the treasurer, but I am also in charge of the entirety of the organization's graphic content.
As treasurer and "head graphic designer", I work closely with our org's president to fundraise for the club through the monetization of my designs. Whether through shirts, stickers, posters, or other products, the merchandise that I develop is the primary source of funding for our organization. While our website is still a work in progress and our social media campaign is in its infancy, we are receiving steady growth in our community, our social media platforms, and our funds. |

FILIPINO AMERICAN STUDENT ASSOCIATION
The Filipino American Student Association (FASA) is University of Michigan's cultural club that celebrates Filipino culture through social events, community engagement, and charity fundraisers.
The content that I created for the organization was chosen through a competition which I have won 2 years running (2016 and 2017). These designs are the face of the annual Philippine Culture Night (PCN) which is the FASA's largest event that raises funds for a specific Filipino charity. For the events, I created profile pictures, cover photos, Snapchat/Facebook filters, profile picture frames, and ticket designs all derived from my main flyer design. |
TROY CIVIC CENTER
The Troy Civic Center website advocated for the protection (from the overdevelopment of our business district) of the Troy's community center where the city's public library, recreation building, tennis courts, aquatic center, and city hall are all located. While our vote did not pass, we were able to raise significant awareness on the topic which continues to be a hotly contested.
I developed the website using Weebly and created all the graphics myself. Most of the pictures used were taken by a member of Step on Poverty who explored her interest in photography through the organization. |
SAMI'S ENGRAVINGS AND GIFTS
Sami's Engraving and Gifts is a small business that sells custom engraved products which give a personal touch to any gift. This was Step on Poverty's first client of the Business Consulting Initiative. Since the members still needed guidance in website development, I heavily helped the members in the creation and launch of this website. They have since taken over completely.

WEST QUAD
The University of Michigan's West Quadrangle Residence Hall had a competition for the res hall's annual shirt design. While my design won, I preferred the design on the left but the hall council liked the one on the right which is what is currently on hundreds of shirts.
