PRINT EXPLORATIONS

Select one-off projects from my practice that help represent me as a designer and an artist. These projects have helped me to learn more about different mediums, and experimenting with typography. There is truly nothing like designing something and then holding it in your hands!

INFORM&CONTENT ART TALK SERIES POSTERS

A series of 11x17 risograph prints designed with each featured artist in mind and displayed throughout campus to advertise the design talks happening as a collaboration between Appalachian State and the Turchin Center for Visual Arts. Each poster was made in an edition of 20.

LITTLE WOMEN

A typographic exercise in which the entire play was typeset using a single text frame in InDesign. The project emphasized grids, typographic rules, and precision. The book was produced through the site Lulu.

GIRLY POP: A MONOSPACED FONT

A monospaced typeface inspired by my memories of early 2000s flip phones and their connection to Y2K-era 'chick flicks.' Displayed on an eyeshadow palette to highlight the nostalgia of early 2000’s femininity.

FEARS IN LOVE

This book surrounds fears in relationships surrounding trust, vulnerability, and more. I created a google form asking questions about how people acknowledge fear when entering or considering relationships. I ended up getting 133 responses from friends, family, and strangers, and decided the best way to address every response was to create chapters/sections that responded to the most used buzz words amongst all of the submissions. The book pamphlet stitched and printed on transparent velum paper.

This book was exhibited in The Smith Gallery’s Art and Design Expo Spring 2023, juried by Jonell Logan of the McColl Center.

NOBODY IS GOING ANYWHERE
NOBODY IS COMING BACK

A book based around specifically avian extinction. The text was printed on a risograph printer and simple case bound. As a designer who loves problem-solving and critical thinking in their work, I often find myself having trouble letting go for my studio art classes. The text is a poem about extinction, and all of the imagery is my own photography over the years, hinting towards environments birds frequently share with people.
