As a product design intern, I delivered and expanded the digital experience of LAist's audiences across all platforms as well as supported day-to-day design productions.
The podcast delves into the science and stories behind wildfires, exploring the history, current challenges, and potential solutions for this new era of devastating fires.
I conducted visual exploration and developed a comprehensive design package for the podcast. This package included a visual design for the podcast's web page, a variable logo, podcast cover design and illustration, and multiple banner illustrations.
As one of LAist’s main public service series, Voter Game Plan provides comprehensive guidance and information to help voters make informed decisions that align with their beliefs.
I developed design and illustration bundles for the series, along with logo motion graphics for social media.
I also handled general day-to-day design production, including editorial illustrations, logo design for events, poster design, and merchant design.
