It Takes a Village: RISD Graphic Design Senior Show
Identity Design 
Publication Design
Exhibition DesignSpring 2024
It Takes a Village…to raise a child. All of us stepped into RISD as children, ready to learn, ready to find ourselves and our practices, ready to find our callings. The camaraderie and community we struggled to foster as first-year students while traversing the challenges of pandemic times were all the more cherished when we stepped into the nine floors of the Design Center. (@risd.gd)

The identity consists of the deconstruction of the nine floors of the RISD Design Center we grew familiar with and mirrors the ways in which we each built our own experiences and memories throughout our time at RISD.

Identity in collaboration with Muhaddisa Ali, Ollantay Avila, Kryeol Chen, Helen Peng, Catleya Qian, Ananya Scindia, Mighty Wanitprapha, Wendy Xu, and Ivy Zhang.

Playscapes: Gathering
Perspectives on Play
Publication Design
Spring 2024
Playscapes is a small collection of interviewed parents and their elementary-aged children in Providence about their experiences and perspectives around play. 

Our project was centered around building a workbook that illustrates the current landscape of play across generations and a toolkit for parent and child to utilize in order to investigate it themselves. We hope the activity of imagining one’s ideal play environment will spark further shared communication about play between parent and child, while the creation of the publication will allow these stories to be shared and create a varied community around play.

Publication in collaboration with Nicole Ban and Lucia Li.
Advised by Tycho Horan for Experimental Publishing. 

Thank you to all participants and for the wonderful experiences that were possible because of them!
