Origami Bird Quilt
by jnkiffe
This was a project I did for a friend’s baby shower. While my husband and I were in Denmark, we saw these really neat mini-quilts that folded up like origami into swans. I thought it was a really neat idea, so when I got home I tried to recreate it. I successfully made my own pattern, and have since drafted up two more original patterns for a fox and a dog.

Skelita’s Bedroom Design
by jnkiffe
I have to admit, when I found out about the Monster High dolls, I was a bit jealous they weren’t available when I was younger. I find something about the creepy-cool look of them very appealing. This craft project was also a fun chance to play with interior design, (on a much smaller, affordable scale – haha). For this project, I challenged myself to create a design inspired by the Skelita doll (whom herself is inspired from Dia de los […]

MASH for Android
by jnkiffe
This was a project I did on my own because I wanted to learn how to implement Android apps. This application is a version of the child’s fortune-telling game MASH, where the player inputs several options for different categories, like potential spouse, wedding location, dream car, etc, and the game chooses a random option from each category to tell the player his/her “future”. It also has a “love calculator” where the player can input their name and the name of […]

Ace Altro
by jnkiffe
Ace Altro was an independent research project I did in college with two other students. We wanted to develop an eduactional game that was fun, but also helped students learn how to construct and prove/disprove logical arguments. You can play the demo version of the game on the EGRIS website.

EW Logo
by jnkiffe
After designing the LTS Logo, the division head saw my work and asked me to design a logo for the entire EW division. Of course, I complied. The crow is a symbol for EW, so they wanted it incorporated, but I decided to go with a look and feel much like my LTS logo — more mature — than the older, cartoony logos most of the other groups use. I also had to make a black and white version so […]

LTS Logo
by jnkiffe
This was a project for my team at work. Our old logo consisted of a very cheesy cartoon crow, and my group wanted a much more…mature…feeling design. Something more intimidating. Something that said “We mean business”, and that they wouldn’t be ashamed to display. For fun, I threw this together, inspired by the asterisk symbol used on laser warning signs. Then I ended up getting roped into designing one for the whole EW Division.
