All In with Google

Bible Camp Film Chapters
2024
Film Typography for the short film Bible Camp, a short film about young Korean immigrants who assimilate to American traditions while attending a discount daycare in the Harlem Valley. Each chapter was a line from the Lords Prayer, so I searched for the oldest non-blackletter print and recreated the layout to superimpose on top of the film. The layout was then dictated by where the type showed up in the verse.
Iron Health

Web Designer leading the web development Iron Health, a tech-enabled, virtual platform that partners with OB/GYNs to provide a network of multidisciplinary providers, bridging gaps across the healthcare journey.

Design Lead for the redesigned and developed Dropbox Intranet. As a critical internal communication hub, this project was prioritized and accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. My role as Design Lead involved overseeing the entire redesign process, from initial concept development to final implementation. I worked closely with a cross-functional team of designers, developers, and subject matter experts to ensure the Intranet effectively met the evolving needs of Dropbox employees.
Dropbox Illustrations
2019—2021
As part of the ongoing Dropbox Intranet project, I took on the role of illustrator for internal communication posts. Despite not having a formal background in illustration, I found this to be a rewarding and challenging experience.
