2022 AIIDE Conference Experimental AI In Games Workshop Stickers
I made these stickers using Procreate on iPad for the 2022 EXAG Workshop I organized. The theme of the conference was "Mis-spun Tales," encouraging people to submit work that yielded unintended or negative results. I wanted to make a sticker that reflected the spirit of story tales. Of course, I had to sprinkle on some mystical and technological vibes.

Unless otherwise attributed, I am the creator of all the art on Jyackl.com. I created art as I need it during development. Something that I really wanted was vector graphic-style black characters. So I made my own reusable library of head shapes, hairstyles, and skin tones.

The Blacklist DMV Logo and Apparel
During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, my partner and I started The Blacklist DMV, a social media account devoted to showcasing Black-owned businesses in Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (the DMV area). I couldn't pass up the opportunity to give us a cool logo and shirts. The logo combines the Pan-African red-black-and-green flag, a list icon, and a map pin to represent our mission.

Surfing Pikachu CM Hoodie
This hoodie was made as a gift. I'm still proud of the simple design featuring Pikachu surfing. It is probably one of the few UCSC Computational Media department hoodies are in existence.

ICDC College Meme Hoodie
I only made one of these as a joke. It was inspired by the ICDC College commercials that used to feature Lil' Romeo. I thought it would be funny to have a college hoodie that looked legit. I still need to make one for Everest.

Carnegie Mellon Research Lab Logo
While I was a student at Carnegie Mellon University, I designed a logo for our research group. We were the Neural Web Research Group, named after the brain-computer interface research that we did. We had the logo printed as a laptop sticker and embroidered it on lab jackets (not pictured).
