Locals only. An exclusionary phrase used to preserve the unique, lesser known aspects of a destination. Sunny San Diego's city defining local spots are in danger of being washed away by overwhelming tourism. This visual journey acts as a historical marker for the local destinations that exemplify San Diego's diverse culture. The website and book design outlines ten different places that play integral roles in the foundation of the city through photography and written stories. The places were chosen based off of their significance to the San Diego community, whether that be in relation to lifestyle, history or culture. The process for determining each destination was an initial discussion with San Diego natives to determine the top 15 places that are influential in the city. From there, research was conducted on each place to determine which ten places would best fit the visual and storytelling platform of the project. Once the destinations were determined, people representing each place were contacted to gather more information. Each destination had at least one, if not several days of shooting photos in order to gather an array of visuals that would fit properly into the design and goal of the final thesis project. The website design was built almost originally using wix.com. Using the photos and stories from the site, the final project was turned into a digital layout of a book that can be printed. The places that the book and website outline are Kobey’s Swap Meet, Hodad’s, Carlsbad Flower Fields, Sunset Cliffs, Windansea, Torrey Pines Gliderport, Spruce St. Bridge, Julian, Mount Soledad and Presidio Park.

Working alongside book author Emilia Banuelos, I illustrated her children's book titled "El Papalote Perdido."

Working alongside book author Emilia Banuelos, I illustrated her children's book titled "El Papalote Perdido." Through a series of watercolor images, I depicted the story of a Mexican-American girl named Lucía and her lost kite, wandering through the Sonoran Desert in the Southwestern US. From rattlesnakes to tarantulas, saguaros to agaves, I painted all of the details that made this story so unique. Together, Emilia and I created a complete children's book that we plan to share with children throughout the valley by providing the book to local libraries and elementary schools.
