Poster with header typography that reads "What's on my bag?". Typography is set in a generic script, and broken up by an image of an LV bag in the center of the poster. The bag imagery appears pixelated, but in reality, is physically woven together with another bag behind it. Keychains are physically attached to the gaps in the woven paper, and blurbs of text are scattered about the rest of the poster.

Plagued by my own overconsumption of blind boxes and the oversaturation of aesthetic-first design on my feed, this poster is a response to the deterioration of meaning (in both material goods and design). Two layers of translucent vellum were hand-woven together to visualize oversaturated content, mimic digital aesthetics, and emulate the tactility of textiles.

Two posters set on a black background, both featuring photographs of purses/hand bags in the center. Both posters read "What's on my Bag?" centered around the bag photographs. The poster on the left is 4-layers of transparent vellum glued together. Each layer has cylindrical holes cut out of it that emulate rotting//mold decay. The poster on the right is two sheets of transparent vellum woven together.

Process and material experimentation for the "What's on my bag?" poster.
Nine magazine spreads featuring typography, photography, and illustration. 3 spreads are dedicated to introductions, 3 spreads are dedicated to dialogue and figure, and 3 spreads are dedicated to showcasing the artwork of the photographed/illustrated persons.

A collection of book spreads for a co-directed fashion magazine. I had the pleasure of interviewing three of my fellow Otis students about their art practice and interest in fashion. We discussed the amalgamation of their personal experiences, touchpoints with subculture, and their desire to create.
A 2x3 grid of sketchbook spreads. Each spread showcases varied material usage, including color pencil, chalk pastel, acrylic paint, ink pens, and graphite pencil. Figure is the central theme across all 6 spreads.

I love my sketchbook.
A set of editorial illustrations. The top illustration covers the whole spread, depicting a mix of figures swimming together at a public pool from an aerial view looking down. The second illustration looks up from beneath the pool view at ominous figures peering into the water with flashlights. The tone is significantly darker, as the light hits shards of glass dumped into the pool water.
