PROJECTS
1. The Collective Magazine
Issue 18: Our Embodied Mess
Issue 17: Forever Yours
Issue 16: Technotica
Issue 15: Perpetual Metanoia
A creative community located in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, ran by UIUC students. A semesterly magazine issue highlights and celebrates local student artists. Each issue has it’s own focus and visual identity.
As Creative Director, I research and create the guiding theme for each issue and manage the graphic design team of 10-20 members. I’m responsible for magazine design and organizing deadlines.
2. In The Same Breath
In The Same Breath is a group exhibition exploring the coexistence of multiple realities, perspectives, and ways of seeing. The exhibition brings together printmaking, graphic design, textile art, and creative coding to explore the space between idealism and realism.
3. Mistico
Mistico is a custom typeface, inspired by the magic and rich atmosphere of Tepoztlán, a Mexican Pueblo Mágico. The typeface reflects the magical towns character and natural beauty.
4. Printmaking
This section showcases a collection of my printmaking projects, highlighting my exploration of process, texture, and experimentation.
5. Content Creation
I make creative-focused content on TikTok, showcasing my process, projects, and personal work, along with select collaborations.
