Stayed tuned! by @tokoware

I know it’s late in January, but I wanted to make a post to commemorate 2025, because it was such an impactful year for me.

I graduated magna cum laude in Digital Media & Media Production, served as Director of Videography at the CougAR Lab, worked on the largest scale film I have ever been a part of personally, and created one of my most ambitious films to date. I worked alongside so many great people, designing , animating, writing, directing, planning and just overall having the honor of being able to work on so many different projects.

It truly has been such an impactful year. I can't wait to continue my growth as both a creator and better human being. by @tokoware

Sharing some of my favorite visuals I’ve created for Ransom so far. This is a short film by Marissa Daigle about two best friends, Sandy and Gina, who spiral into a chaotic ransom plot.

From posters and social content to fundraiser promos, I’ve been helping the team to shape the look and feel of the film’s online presence and support their funding efforts.

If the project speaks to you, please consider donating to their GoFundMe, even a small amount helps move the production forward! 📽️

Class of '25 🎓

Graduation is right around the corner! I'm going to miss a lot of things I've grown to love and appreciate from my time at UH. However, it's finally time to say goodbye, still I'm grateful for all of it.

THE LAST GAME 👾
A woman’s mind becomes intertwined with an artificial intelligent videogame.

This was my last film as a student, and because of that, I wanted it to be my most ambitious one to date. Special Thanks to Dr. Bennet for allowing me to make this film for his Simulation & Gaming class.

It’s been a journey — and I’m incredibly proud of the result.

Hope you enjoy it. 🖤

Album Cover Design: Talking Heads x William Longhauser

Inspired by the bold geometry and vibrant colors of William Longhauser’s “Donovan & Green,” I created this album cover as a homage to both his post-modern artistry and Talking Heads’ genre-defying music. Blending abstract elements with symbolic imagery that is heavily inspired by the 1980s song "Once in a Lifetime".

Client: Jaime M De Vega

As Director of Videography for the CougAR Lab, I’ve had the opportunity to work on and collaborate with so many amazing projects. For this latest one, I was able to interview players from the Sugar Land Space Cowboys and create a promotional video that was shared across their socials. Huge thanks to my Lab Director, Dr. Tony Liao, for trusting me with this opportunity.

Video Team: Alex Compean, Joseph Nguyen, and Raul Lopez

DIGIFEST: Showcasing Innovation & Connection 🚀

To celebrate my final DIGIFEST as a student, I want to share my VDP campaign invitationals I created last year for it.

DIGIFEST is a career fair celebrating students’ journeys into the world of digital media. Inspired by Houston’s legacy as the Space City, my team and I crafted a design that reflects the invisible connections that drive us forward—just as Houston has been a frontier for innovation since the space race.

Using variable data printing, we customized the design, messaging, and call to action for each company—creating a truly personalized experience that resonates with industry leaders.A campaign that bridges the past, present, and future of digital media innovation—just like Houston itself.

2nd Place Winner of RedFest for XMPIE VDP Campaign 🏆
