Experiences
Young Arts Lessons (2022)
As a dedicated member of Young Arts Lessons, responsibilities entailed coordinating summer art camps and designing various creative activities for children. Additionally, guidance was provided to students seeking assistance with crafting art portfolios for college applications, focusing on digital art forms and fundamental techniques.
It's noteworthy that our company actively partnered with the Laguna Art Gallery, organizing fundraisers to support organizations utilizing art for global communication. Through this collaboration, the opportunity arose to work with exceptional art teams, contributing to the development of a more accessible and vibrant artistic community for children. This experience sharpened skills in effective collaboration and nurturing an environment conducive to artistic growth.
Exhibition
The exhibition was curated by a group of 12 student artists. We meticulously planned every aspect, from selecting the venue to arranging the placement of each artwork. Despite the constraints of a small exhibition gallery, which presented challenges in accommodating all the artworks, we successfully navigated these obstacles. This experience provided valuable lessons in teamwork, collaboration, and effective communication within a large group. We learned the importance of listening to diverse opinions and synthesizing information to achieve the best possible outcome for our collective vision.

This professional engagement provided exposure to corporate environments, resulting in valuable insights and fostering collaboration with professionals from various disciplines. Key responsibilities encompassed crafting informative and visually engaging infographics tailored for engineers, along with designing illustrations for the company's forthcoming calendar.

The objective is to create a logo design that effectively represents each branch individually while also encapsulating their collective identity.
