Duke Chronicle redesign and Recess LogoAmber Keister
In June 2013, I redesigned the Duke student newspaper to make it easier for novice journalists to design functional, attractive pages. I also designed the Recess logo, for the lifestyles section. The rest of the paper has gone through changes, but my logo is still in use four years later.
Programme for Taunton Thespians' production of The Good DoctorMike Gilbert
A director who knew what she wanted, and had a line drawing as the starting point of the poster design, which wasn't easy to scan in. However, it worked in the end, and the colouring works too. And I had a bloody good role in the show, too. Neil Simon's aggregation of Chekhov's short stories into a coherent stage piece was wonderful.

the best comedians across the nation to
create a brand new performance that will
never be shown again.
The comedians have 7 days to bring their

them have never worked with each other
before, resulting in unique performances
every time.
5. Chaya currently lives in Los Angeles, where he works as an actor and
writer-director for film and television, as well as a creative consultant for
emerging actors.
6. Chaya's first performance at OSSS
provided the inspiration for his short
film, “Driving Ms. Saudi”, which was
screened at over 15 festivals
worldwide.
It also won accolades such as Best Short Film
at Dubai’s WOW Mid-East Film Fair and Silver
Metal For Best Comedy Short at the Asia
South East -Short Film Festival.
7. On Saturday, he will join other top comedians for the newest virtual
edition of Old School Sketch Show, which will be screened live from
