Exploring professionalism and play through personal stationery mockups.

GRC 453: Portfolio Technologies
When
Spring 2026
Location
San Luis Obispo, CA
Overview
For my portfolio technologies course, I explored how my personal identity could take on different personalities through color, imagery, and graphics. Using business card, letterhead, and cover letter mockups, I visualized two directions: one professional and elegant, and another fun and playful.
Process
I experimented with different colorways and graphic treatments to see how each choice shifted the tone of the same materials. Applying the designs to mockups helped me picture how each direction could work as a coordinated identity beyond the screen.
Reflection
It was fun to imagine what my own stationery could look like and see different sides of my personality come through. This project reminded me that a personal identity doesn’t have to communicate just one thing. Small visual choices can make room for both professionalism and playfulness.
