Zoe Manalo
zoemanalo.artI’m Zoe, a designer focused on bridging minimal modern aesthetics with alternative visual styles. I’m currently studying Design with a minor in UX/UI at the University of San Francisco, where I explore how visual language and interaction shape user experiences. My work centers on creating thoughtful, visually engaging designs through experimentation and simplicity. I aim to make work that feels both intentional and expressive, while continuing to expand my skills across different areas of digital media.
Digital Daydream
Digital Daydream explores escapism through a 2000s-style magazine set inside a bedroom. Inspired by teen magazines from that time, the project uses quizzes, polls, and bold layouts to create a playful and immersive experience. The magazine includes information about how media acted as a form of escape, showing how people used it to disconnect, imagine different lives, and explore their identity. The bedroom setting reflects a personal space where imagination and identity can grow. Overall, Digital Daydream highlights the effects of growing up with digital media while in an immersive setting.
