modus operandi is a latin term that is loosely translated

to “mode of operating.” In everyday terms we often hear

it abbreviated in the expression “that’s not my in my m.o.”

Well, in modus , a portfolio of selected works, I would like

to introduce a few of the elements are in my m.o., both as

a designer and fellow citizen of humanity. As a designer,

I am guided by the principles of clarity, balance and

economy. As an individual, I live by optimism, passion,

and constant consideration of the “bigger picture.” I have

used modus as an opportunity to reflect on these values.

driven by passion and optimism to design for the greater good

¡vIvA lA REvOlucIón! unrest, excitement, formal-

ization and institutionalization are the four stages

that most social movements evolve through. follow

explores these stages via individual case studies

of four social movements: slow food, straightedge,

critical mass and anti-tobacco.

the exploration draws on a breadth of data and depth

of emotion to uncover the inspiring resilience of

humankind. dual themes of unity and individuality, cor-

ruption and transparency, change and establishment

emerge and are communicated through the design.

kEEp cAlm, AnD cARRy On. in an era of information

overload, increased physical stress and pervasive

mental burnout, compass addresses the goal of

cultivating calm focus and awareness of one’s mind

and body. the project aims to heighten awareness of

emotions and thought patterns, empowering readers

to change them. the idea that humans are amazing,

resilient creatures is not a new one, we need only let

our fears surrender to our strengths and we can see

how good it is to be in the world today..

EvEn An AbAnDOnED tREASuRE IS StIll A tREASuRE.

in response to a challenge issued by GOOD magazine,

the urban furnishing project seeks to define and solve

a uniquely san francisco problem—that of the floating

flea market. urban furnishing is a design solution to

the growing problem of illegal furniture dumping and

unsustainable furniture consumption in sf, created in

collaboration with fellow aau students, kayla ferriera

and sa nguyen.

tom sieu’s print 2 class in the spring of 2011

was an experimental hybrid of real-word

design challenges and shoot-for-the-moon

ideas. in place of the typical lecture and

critique structure, this class was a dynamic

amalgamation of skype meetings, presenta-

tions, group work and, of course, design. the

challenge issued by GOOD magazine required

collaboration, game-changing and presenta-

tion skills. problem-solving and designing as

a group provided new challenges and frame-

works for creativity.

combine people relocating constantly and inconvenient or

expensive disposal of unwanted furnishings and you end up

with an abundance of abandoned furniture on San Francisco

streets. most of these furnishings are picked up by the Depart-

ment of public Works on the city’s dime. to make matters

worse, after dumping their old furniture, people tend to pur-

chase new goods manufactured using increasingly limited raw

resources, continuing the cycle of unsustainable consumption.

Our solution is to keep abandoned furniture off the streets and

out of the landfill by refreshing, refurbishing or repurposing

it. this way, the materials stay in the cycle of use for longer,

providing a sustainable alternative to consuming more of the

planet’s increasingly rare raw resources.

67 the lumnos project involved forays into all

sorts of graphic design techniques, from

illustrator manipulation to motion photog-

raphy, to explore a natural phenomenon.

bioluminescent organisms don’t abound in

the urban landscape of san francisco, but

a treasure trove of light-emitting life was

nonetheless discovered during the process of

creating the lumnos book.

as an avid reader and student of literature with a masters thesis

on experimental fiction under my belt, this project reflects the joy

found in story-telling and the humanity demonstrated in narrative.

because literacy is a chief value of mine, the aim of this project was

to engage viewers in the content so that they might take an interest

in exploring the authors’ works.

bit out of hand, eco pro is a sensible solution provid-

le saucy rooster

gordon mortensen

identity 2

menu, brand story & applications

FREncH FOOD WItH A tOucH OF SAucInESS. le saucy

rooster is the only quirky chic luncheonette in san fran-

cisco that is open 24 hours, specializing in provincial

french cuisine that’s affordable and accessible for all.

the big idea driving the brand is that it serves solid

french bistro fare at non-exclusive prices in a casual,

congenial, san francisco atmosphere. the name com-

municates the brand’s camp attributes by playfully

incorporating the french article “le” and humorously

transforming the traditional french dish “coq au vin”

into a saucy rooster.[pro

annual report

SHInE A lIGHt. against a backdrop of widespread

economic turmoil last year, seventh generation’s

sales grew an astonishing 51 percent, one could see

this as validation that trying to do the right thing

is good for business. increasingly, consumers are

choosing natural products over conventional ones,

making a positive difference for their health and

for the environment and giving us reason to cheer

seventh generation’s success. the annual report

shines a light on the success the company has

achieved by cultivating corporate transparency.
