		<description>Unboxing Prototype
I was asked to create a futuristic vision of what our unboxing video would look like in a digital context. Below are two flow designs for two different perspectives: one from the gift purchaser's point of view and one from the gift receiver's point of view. I also made some changes to the interface to showcase the potential of our future collaborations with OpenSea.&#38;nbsp;

	Purchaser POV︎︎

A user purchased an NFT through OpenSea (added an extra button to their UI for sending gifts.) After the purchase user needs to add their information and also pick a return to sender date. If the gift receipient doesn’t claim the gift by the chosen time, NFT will be sent back to the purchaser instead. User receives a confirmation email post-purchase that allows them to see the purchaised NFT. There will be a CTA in the email that gives them an ability to go back to OpenSea and purchase other NFTs.

		<description>Appreciate Rebranding Project
Appreciate is a social commerce platform designed to help people curate and showcase their most meaningful possessions, turning the "stuff" we own into a digital portfolio of our unique styles.

&#60;img width="731" height="411" width_o="731" height_o="411" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2b14c67f755a0758e02b4c425383b3e7739ef20e4ee64bf01ca12645cbf002bd/img-hero-rebrand.png" data-mid="247062249" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/731/i/2b14c67f755a0758e02b4c425383b3e7739ef20e4ee64bf01ca12645cbf002bd/img-hero-rebrand.png" /&#62;
As part of the team at Appreciate, I worked to re-define what it means to marry a technology and fashion focused brand. Appreciates brand was in dire need of a refresh. It no longer aligned with the company’s goals, ideals, or the target demographic’s aesthetic expectations. We needed something that could convey our scrappy start up foundation and immerging web3 technology, allow us to strongly position ourselves to potential investors, and speak to the fashion audience we intended to target.


Quick Summary

	
	My RoleVisual Designer
	ProblemThe Appreciate brand no longer positioned the company as a tech innovator and leader in the fashion industry.

SolutionAs part of the team at Appreciate, I worked to re-imagined the visual identity, rethinking how it looked, felt, and spoke to better reflect our company’s innovation at the intersection of technology and fashion. 
	Contributions

• Logomark conception &#38;amp; refinement• Refined color palette• Developed illustration &#38;amp; pattern system• Contributed to typeface exploration &#38;amp; selection


	Full Breakdown
We approached the rebranding with a comprehensive design process, beginning with ideation, brainstorming, sketching, and multiple iterations, and culminating in the production of various assets for the new brand.


&#60;img width="2400" height="1260" width_o="2400" height_o="1260" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9b8c1902ee7c1121581df946f1bf1d52bbe4f0a4ec11875315949e5b594c8bbc/4.jpg" data-mid="175268979" border="0" alt="Initial sketches" data-caption="Initial sketches" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9b8c1902ee7c1121581df946f1bf1d52bbe4f0a4ec11875315949e5b594c8bbc/4.jpg" /&#62;
Ideation began with exploring symbolism, lettermarks, and how we wanted to convey Appreciate. Through this “make stuff” process we defined a the foundational aspects of the brand and who we wanted to brand towards, Brands, Fashion Owners, Fashion Items, Web3 Technology. Each element of these 4 had intersections with the others and defined further what Appreciate was and provided.


	Defining Appreciate
&#60;img width="730" height="410" width_o="730" height_o="410" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4a57245188cc673965a56e38af595592e5e52b165849252f166315604c3d3b14/img-4-tenets.png" data-mid="247062280" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/730/i/4a57245188cc673965a56e38af595592e5e52b165849252f166315604c3d3b14/img-4-tenets.png" /&#62;

For Owners and Items, the most important tenant was “proof of ownership.” For Brands and Web3 it was “luxury shoppers.” Each pairing brought more nuance and rational to the overall idea of appreciate and sparked the exploration of connection. Appreciate’s platform at its core was about connecting people, brands, products &#38;amp; technology.


&#60;img width="1154" height="590" width_o="1154" height_o="590" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3925440566f16df223c353f8539b82739cfa1e37e9cc27e0aafa7cc25a8eb6a5/Screen-Shot-2023-02-08-at-7.49.00-PM.png" data-mid="175269221" border="0" alt="Part of the process of designing the logomark and logotype" data-caption="Part of the process of designing the logomark and logotype" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3925440566f16df223c353f8539b82739cfa1e37e9cc27e0aafa7cc25a8eb6a5/Screen-Shot-2023-02-08-at-7.49.00-PM.png" /&#62;
With this idea in mind we started to focus and hone the visualization of Appreciate’s championing of connection. This lead to an exploration of shape mosaics utilizing letter forms and geometry. We honed this down to a few flower and weaving like marks. After we culled down the marks to a selection of stand outs, we started to explore the typography in relation to those marks.


	Typography matchmaking
To fit with the tech-focused aesthetic of appreciate, we sought out a clean and modern sans serif font with a touch of character. After exploring various options, we selected Maison Neue as our typeface of choice. This versatile font works exceptionally well in the digital space and adds a unique touch to the overall brand identity.

&#60;img width="730" height="67" width_o="730" height_o="67" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a4ce2708c29216ed7502a62d8aa632bb558f57e78d4ba854c041f3a744427008/img-type-transition.png" data-mid="247062282" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/730/i/a4ce2708c29216ed7502a62d8aa632bb558f57e78d4ba854c041f3a744427008/img-type-transition.png" /&#62;
We explored many pairings and experimented with a mix of high fashion serif fonts as well as tech focused sans serifs. Ultimately, we selected Nuezeit Grotesk for its clean and modern tech aesthetic with a touch of character and nuance to bring in our fashion industry influences. We opted to pair it with the web font Maison Neue for its strong digital readability.Having selected our brand typeface we could move on to finalizing our new logo lockup. Using Nuezeit as the foundation we hand crafted our Appreciate wordmark to refine it towards our tech fashion identity. Pulling it all together

We decided to move forward with the 4 cross section clover for our logo mark. This decision prompted the creation of a design tenant we dubbed The Rule of Four. With the new logo locked in, it was time to refine our new brands color palette, iconography, illustrations and pattern designs.


	Color Palette
Color palette was the first item on the list to refine. This was also the first area we applied The Rule of Four. We built out 4 vibrant primary colors, based on 4 gems, that aimed to identify the primary audience of the content being highlighted. It was important for us to be bold with these tones, making a statement as many fashion icons do.Primary Palette


&#60;img width="731" height="224" width_o="731" height_o="224" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4d3f72dabb0349ed5b18c328481864ae96f5d0775fa4d827d1295f1d021dd637/img-base-color-palette.png" data-mid="247062290" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/731/i/4d3f72dabb0349ed5b18c328481864ae96f5d0775fa4d827d1295f1d021dd637/img-base-color-palette.png" /&#62;
Once we identified the foundational colors we started to pair them with an accent and tie them to specific content areas. The Appreciate focused colors would be Stay Dynamic purple, and Stay Ambitious green. For content focused on owners, we paired Feeling Confident green with Feeling Joy peach. For Partners we paired Always Optimistic yellow with Always Splendid purple. Lastly we paired Be Inspired red with Be Grateful coffee to search as a utility content combination.Extended Primary Palette


&#60;img width="731" height="342" width_o="731" height_o="342" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/88af758a14024e5e5f8481b9a8a5f3075ea43d77d2eb44b4ddb4c25efddbfe11/img-full-breakout.png" data-mid="247062291" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/731/i/88af758a14024e5e5f8481b9a8a5f3075ea43d77d2eb44b4ddb4c25efddbfe11/img-full-breakout.png" /&#62;As we built out the extended palette, it became imperative for a set of colors that allowed for dynamism, as well as softer contrasting notes. Being a constantly changing industry on both fronts we hoped to serve, we wanted something that could flex and easily compliment the primary vibrant tones without taking the spotlight in the process. Extended Accent Palette

	Defining The Extended Visual Identity
With the color palette locked in, all that was left was to bring the brand to life. We developed two illustrations styles to live within the app, and the website experiences. We crafted a set of UI icons to make each of our touchpoints feel uniquely our own. Lastly we built out a pattern library to bring nuance and a luxury fashion feel to our brand experience that ties back to many iconic brands seen in the industry today.In App &#38;amp; Website Illustrations

	ConclusionThrough many months of hard work and hundreds of ideas that didn’t see the light of day, we finished our new Appreciate identity. It was an extremely rewarding project, that challenged me many times as a designer to push past what I thought I could accomplish and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Sometimes the best design work comes from being just uncomfortable enough to try something new.

		<description>Website RedesignAppreciate is a social commerce platform designed to help people curate and showcase their most meaningful possessions, turning the "stuff" we own into a digital portfolio of our unique styles.

After the completion of the appreciate rebranding project, it was important for us to make sure that our website matched the new look and feel of the brand. We started by completely redesigning the layout of the website, taking into account our newly chosen color pairs and patterns that we had created as part of the rebranding process.

Quick Summary

	
	My Role
Visual Designer
	ProblemThe Appreciate site experience no longer reflected the brand and provided a confusing product experience to users new and old.
SolutionAs part of the team at Appreciate, we redesigned the website to align to the new company branding and bring consistency and clarity to who each page.


	Contributions
• Integration of new brand styling to UI
• Creation of brand UI guidelines &#38;amp; governance
• Wireframing
• Component design
• Page layout design


Full Breakdown
The Foundational Elements

We began this process with defining how the new color palette and typeface would be used in the system.
For the color palette tokens more specifically, this involved defining the user personas the site needed to be tailored to and how they should be distinguished. The question of “how would a user be able to quickly tell if a page was for a brand partner, another user, or a specifically Appreciate branded page?” became a driving point of exploration. 

&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;&#60;img width="1111" height="725" width_o="1111" height_o="725" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/48b114c7d209eff073bad48e6f8b435be7485bf98d9aae275b1621630a54446a/img-foundations-step-2.png" data-mid="244828503" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/48b114c7d209eff073bad48e6f8b435be7485bf98d9aae275b1621630a54446a/img-foundations-step-2.png" /&#62; 
After much deliberation, we settled on a distinct color combination for each area. Appreciate brand focused pages would be styled primarily in the hero colors of rich purple and lively green. Owner pages would have a more subtle color style, utilizing relaxing green and soft peach, as to not overpower the products in their digital collection. Partners pages would utilize vibrant purple and yellow tones to highlight our collaboration and pop against the normal site content.
Defining the structureAt the same time as the token exploration we also began to strip back the site to its foundational blocks, focusing on the content needs that would then inform how we incorporate the new brand styles.

&#60;img width="1282" height="1104" width_o="1282" height_o="1104" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d0eba231d0c67cb203d23923663f9f4a35ec963e05b227c3c86ffc8a8ec7c84b/img-wires-step-3.png" data-mid="244828507" border="0" alt="Homepage Wireframe and Grid" data-caption="Homepage Wireframe and Grid" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d0eba231d0c67cb203d23923663f9f4a35ec963e05b227c3c86ffc8a8ec7c84b/img-wires-step-3.png" /&#62;
Building the blocksWith many of the token styles and content structures defined, we started iterating on component designs. Through this work we explored how the different segment colors would flow into the components them selves, such as branded buttons or general purpose form elements.

&#60;img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4b47bc79e7f8c8c22523ad5d323ebb1a05956c738a4e66533011a79777a90d72/img-components-step-4.png" data-mid="244828501" border="0" alt="Component build out" data-caption="Component build out" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4b47bc79e7f8c8c22523ad5d323ebb1a05956c738a4e66533011a79777a90d72/img-components-step-4.png" /&#62;
One aspect we noticed when iterating on the overall system was that the initial yellow tone used wasn’t meeting AA accessibility requirements when used on interactive elements. We opted to darken it for these use cases limiting the original tone to graphic elements and background colors.

&#60;img width="1403" height="856" width_o="1403" height_o="856" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aca6aca393329a6a350e129730c3a2d31f44389ded71d6cfd3d0fe493238ae32/img-mobile-branded-step-5.png" data-mid="244828505" border="0" alt="Example of persona specific styling" data-caption="Example of persona specific styling" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aca6aca393329a6a350e129730c3a2d31f44389ded71d6cfd3d0fe493238ae32/img-mobile-branded-step-5.png" /&#62;
Being web3 based and an emerging technology, it was important to build excitement and drive home key features of the product. This led to a very graphical and photography driven experience. Visually showcasing Appreciate app in bitesized engaging bits of content helped to breakdown a complex product for any user to understand no matter the tech literacy. 

&#60;img width="1403" height="856" width_o="1403" height_o="856" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2726059fccf967d9925d865113504eb707ce4c325f5f9488f5783fa53b75ff71/img-mobile-components-step-6.png" data-mid="244828506" border="0" alt="Component applied to pages" data-caption="Component applied to pages" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2726059fccf967d9925d865113504eb707ce4c325f5f9488f5783fa53b75ff71/img-mobile-components-step-6.png" /&#62;


	ConclusionThrough a rapid 2 months of design work, and many more in development, we deployed an enhanced site experience that met accessibility standards, brought clarity to the product offering, and positioned our brand cohesively across our digital landscape.

Centered on textures, the campaign evoked warmth, comfort, and luxury, targeting adults 25-54. The key message, “Feel the Difference,” emphasized the quality and variety of materials, from rich woods and warm leathers to plush seating and cozy beds. The tone also balanced inspiration with the brand’s signature playfulness.


	Lockups &#38;amp; Colors︎︎
We used Jordan’s brand typeface, Mr. Eaves, for the lockups and selected elegant, seasonal colors as the primary palette to elevate the campaign’s message.

Prototyping

Rentlist is an apartment finder website I designed during my time at Designlab. It allows users to search for apartments in specific areas and filter results based on defined criteria. I prioritized user needs throughout the design process, resulting in a visually appealing and intuitive interface for a streamlined apartment search experience.


Task Flow
This task flow outlines how a user can search for an apartment in a specific area, refine results based on criteria, view details about an apartment, and contact the owner. The entire project was focused on streamlining this process and prioritizing user needs.

	Logo
I chose the name Rentlist after some research and brainstorming. For the logomark, I combined the letters R and L with an abstract shape of an apartment. I chose Lato, a modern sans serif type for the logotype, and developed a color palette later in the project.

	Icons
To ensure a consistent design system, I created custom icons that complement the logomark. They feature a single color and stroke for a cohesive look.

	Style Tile
I created a style guide that includes the colors, typefaces, imagery, buttons, and icons to be used. This guide serves as a reference for maintaining consistency and creating a cohesive design for the website.

Wireframes
When designing the wireframes, I focused on defining the content, structure, and layout of the core screens in the website's primary user path. Additional information for each screen is provided on the right side for a more comprehensive understanding.

This project's objective was to create fifty variations of a well-known work of graphic design. I selected Otis Shepard's 1965 baseball scorecard for the Chicago Cubs and deconstructed it to create fifty distinct compositions using its building blocks and colors. To ensure that the final output reflected the content of the original piece, I designed a set of fifty baseball cards featuring the greatest players of all time.

The Iranian people have historically hidden their true messages in layers of symbolism and metaphors due to a lack of freedom of speech. I developed a coded visual system using abstract forms and traditional Persian motifs to bring attention to this issue, which is often overlooked. The audience is invited to decode the messages using a provided key and help give a voice to the silenced. The goal is to shed light on this enduring issue that affects many, including the people of my country.

I developed a system to generate an abstract visual language to code the language. Each letter is represented by an abstract shape created by overlapping of up to four layers of symbols. I assigned a code to each letter, consisting of four digits with values of O, X, or null. The table below outlines how different values of the four layers are assigned to various visual characteristics, which are later translated into symbols.

&#60;img width="2000" height="1013" width_o="2000" height_o="1013" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e854fc65cfd32ee5ee7e5b2756b0e8cb6063c2e56d5201dfb1d42190ab25e267/TTS_Portfolio-07.jpg" data-mid="174970691" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e854fc65cfd32ee5ee7e5b2756b0e8cb6063c2e56d5201dfb1d42190ab25e267/TTS_Portfolio-07.jpg" /&#62;
The background layer is the first layer and appears in every letter. It is composed of either cold or warm colors or monochrome systems with white and a color/black. All symbols have a perfect square shape. The graph below illustrates the positioning of each layer and its borders on top of one another.
&#60;img width="2500" height="975" width_o="2500" height_o="975" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a00da53d199c154d9b3bf1d2ce1d70615ba585e1abd60032134fe0b2ab1e5432/TTS_Portfolio-08.jpg" data-mid="174971135" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a00da53d199c154d9b3bf1d2ce1d70615ba585e1abd60032134fe0b2ab1e5432/TTS_Portfolio-08.jpg" /&#62;


The second layer is the border, which can be either geometric in shape (various forms of a straight line) or based on traditional motifs.
&#60;img width="2500" height="979" width_o="2500" height_o="979" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/26ac3992746da480850ff9edcf34dd86b2f6f66c17ba212b9199c019e62fa10a/TTS_Portfolio-09.jpg" data-mid="174971191" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/26ac3992746da480850ff9edcf34dd86b2f6f66c17ba212b9199c019e62fa10a/TTS_Portfolio-09.jpg" /&#62;

All the symbols are one of the two groups of traditional or geometric, which represent one of the many dualities I’m facing: tradition vs. modernity. There is no overlap between the second and the third layer, so they are easily distinguishable from each other.
&#60;img width="2500" height="983" width_o="2500" height_o="983" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fd38b036059405308e5a00e5bd4be6e7f155f8d6e9d65da592d73be729f7cdd1/TTS_Portfolio-10.jpg" data-mid="174971154" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fd38b036059405308e5a00e5bd4be6e7f155f8d6e9d65da592d73be729f7cdd1/TTS_Portfolio-10.jpg" /&#62;


The fourth layer is the one that appears the least in the symbols since most of the letters have null as their fourth layer. It is the smallest component as well and sits right on top of all the other layers.

This system allows for up to 1,715,000 different ways to create a letter, depending on how many layers are active in that letter. Below is a sample set of the alphabet created using the system.

By connecting the encrypted squares, like any alphabet system, you can create sentences and messages.

The installation would have consisted of letters made up of four layers of acrylic, with each acrylic sheet having one symbol silkscreen printed on it. This would have allowed the viewer to see the layers separately or, at a certain perspective, see all the layers on top of each other. Additionally, extra acrylic sheets would have been provided for the audience to interact with and create their own letters and words using the provided key.

However, due to the 2020 pandemic and self-isolation, I came up with a different solution to bring my vision to life for the final show.&#38;nbsp;

This thesis book is temporarily unavailble. I’m currently looking for free alternatives! (coming soon)
