Silicon Valley DECA LACE Countdown

Silicon Valley DECA held its annual leadership conference, LACE (Leadership and Competitive Excellence) conference from November 14-16 at the San Jose DoubleTree by Hilton. As a Silicon Valley DECA officer, I was amongst the team of students in charge of organizing the conference. The conference was definitely a huge success and a great learning experience! Motivational speaker Scott Greenberg and Stanford University professor Jennifer Aaker were both keynote speakers at the conference and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet both of them. 

Here are some countdown pictures I designed to post on Silicon Valley DECA's social media accounts before LACE!

Monta Vista Design It

Monta Vista Design It (a club for Monta Vista students interested in graphic design) had it's first informational meeting the first week of this past month. I delegated the task of creating the promotional picture for our first meeting to myself. Here it is:

ELD Pen Pal Program

As part of the Silicon Valley Design It team, we are delegated certain commissions, and I and  was assigned to design a flier for Cupertino High School's ELD Pen Pal Program. Here is the flier!

Pen Tool!

Today I decided to create something that I really appreciate. I decided that pen tool is by far one of the most useful tools to a graphic designer, and thought what better way to portray this than a graphic design creation of a pen tool (made with pen tool)? So, here it is: 

ILP T-Shirt Design

In May this year, I had the task of designing a T-shirt for the India Literacy Project's relay to help children in India living in poverty. I'm glad I got this opportunity to help out!

SVDECA Website Mockup

Here's a mockup I made for the new Silicon Valley DECA website!

New SVDECA logo!

We decided to redesign the Silicon Valley DECA logo and I delegated the task to myself to capture the real essence of Silicon Valley DECA. Silicon Valley DECA embodies the tech subculture in the Bay Area and the competitive mentality of Silicon Valley students to strive towards success as entrepreneurs. Keeping this in mind, I felt the Golden Gate Bridge was an apt symbol of Silicon Valley DECA.

Mike Honda at STAR Awards!

This past weekend was STAR Awards, and I got the chance to meet Mike Honda, another candidate running for Congress!

STAR Awards is an annual event where the city of Cupertino recognizes businesses and individuals in Cupertino that have made an impact on the city. STAR Awards is also a great networking opportunity; many business professionals are in attendance. Every year, a few officers from my high school's DECA chapter attend this event. STAR Awards is a great opportunity to network; I even got the chance to meet Mike Honda.

Ro Khanna at Lunar Luncheon!

I recently attended the Lunar New Year Festival held by the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce and got the chance to meet Ro Khanna, one of the candidates running for Congress.

The Lunar Luncheon is an event organized by the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce to celebrate the Chinese New Year, and is a great opportunity to network with business professionals in Cupertino. My high school's DECA chapter is partnered with the City of Cupertino Chamber of Commerce; we helped set up the event. I had the opportunity to network with many successful Cupertino residents, and was able to meet Ro Khanna.

Cupertino Chamber of Commerce Fact Sheet!

I was recently assigned to make a fact sheet for the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce, for Cupertino businesses interested in putting their businesses in the Cupertino Business Directory!
