Graphical Design

One of my non-engineering passions/hobbies is graphic design. I’ve had the opportunity to design a number of logos, posters, and launch advertisement campaigns for different organizations. As I progressed in my engineering career, the frequency of such activities was reduced to focus my efforts on my engineering endeavors and expand my knowledge base in a variety of disciplines. However, graphic design remains one of my favorite activities and I hope to have the opportunity to use these skills in the future. Some of the designs I’ve produced over the past several years can be found below in addition to a brief description of each recipient organization.
