triton gaming expo 2025

branding || illustration || graphic design || project management

Triton Gaming Expo is an annual gaming convention at UC San Diego, averaging over 2000 unique student attendees. As the creative director of Triton Gaming from the 2024-2025 school year, I was tasked with creating the branding guidelines for their gaming convention that year. Drawing inspiration from graffiti and street art, a lot of noise, spray paint, and grunge textures alongside digital illustration were incorporated, using strong typography to ground the designs.

This year was also the first year we created an artbook in celebration of Triton Gaming Expo, in which creative officers from my team contributed artwork based on our mascots. Alongside contributing my own art, I was also tasked with curating and print layout. A digital preview of the artbook can be seen below:

For their one year anniversary, I was commissioned by The Curry Club, a Japanese curry restaurant in San Diego, to create a set of stickers featuring some of their bestselling dishes. These illustrations celebrate the attention to detail each dish creates and the warmth a well-cooked plate of curry brings to the table. The stickers were sold in their sticker vending machine during their anniversary celebration.

I'm currently studying at UC San Diego and majoring in Interdisciplinary Computing and the Arts BA and Business Psychology BS.

I'm deeply interested in the intersections of art and technology, and that greatly informs my work, which spans a variety of mediums, including but not limited to 2D illustration, 3D fabrication, game design, and merchandise and packaging design!In my free time, I'm also a convention artist! Some of the artist alleys I have boothed at are San Diego Anime Con, Triton Gaming Expo, the Riot Games Community Artist Alley, and Anime Expo!
