Book-Binding, Motion Design 
The topic of menstruation remains taboo in the United States even today. Important information is left undiscussed, and most menstrual resources are heavily gendered. Using feminine-oriented language excludes transgender, non-binary, and intersex people, and makes it seem like only certain people can talk about menstruation. Sanguine is a social campaign that strives to honestly and inclusively educate kids and teens of all genders about menstruation.

HONE: EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCEResearch, Design Fiction, UX, UI, Motion Design
For this collaborative studio, we as a class created a plausible system that could be ubiquitous in the year 2026. We spent weeks researching recent technological advancements and the future-facing mindset before settling on the idea of Hone, a mood augmentation/regulation system based on AI-created music. The class then worked to create a brand language, an app, a website, prototypes, and a short film.

BEAR & BIRCH BRAND IDENTITYBrand Identity, Motion Design, Publication Design
During my junior year, I delved into the field of brand identity. Given the choice between branding a real company or creating an imaginary one, I chose to create a fictitious fashion line. In the fashion world, there is a lack of financial accessibility to high-end designs, so I created a brand called Bear & Birch that provides affordable and socially-responsible styles that are rarely seen off of the runway.

This project was the culmination of my Materials & Processes class. Using my understanding of paper, book structures, print processes, and folding techniques, I designed and produced a book documenting the class's lectures, activities, guest speakers, and field trips.

ACADIA PICTOGRAMSIcon System, Pattern-Making, Image Manipulation
Acadia National Park is a well-loved and world-renowned national park located in Maine. As breathtaking as the park itself is, elements of the experience — such as wayfinding materials, the visitor center, and the gift shop — can be improved. Throughout the course of a semester, I created a set of 20 pictrograms that can be applied in a variety of ways throughout the park.
