PROJECTS





1. The Collective Magazine

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. 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.



3. Printmaking
This section showcases a collection of my printmaking projects, highlighting my exploration of process, texture, and experimentation.




4. Content Creation
