A very personal book about how growing up works. Inspired by the text, “Eleven” by Sandra Cisneros. What they don't understand about birthdays and what they never tell you is that when you're eleven, you're also ten, and nine, and eight, and seven, and six, and five, and four, and three, and two, and one... Because the way you grow old is kind of like an onion or like the rings inside a tree trunk or like my little wooden dolls that fit one inside the other, each year inside the next one.

Printed with LaserJet on overhead transparency sheets and Fabriano paper.

Poster design for potential RISD Museum Exhibit on Utagawa Hiroshige and Utagawa Kunisada's collaborative prints of the Tokaido Road. Taking inspiration from designer Annette Lentz, I collaborated with fellow graphic designer Chelsea Wang to reach a design which spoke to the dynamic of dual artists as well as suggested a voyage. For Elena Varshavskaya's Japanese Prints class, Spring 2013.

The Quince, gouache on museum board.

An exercise in simulated transparency in Judy Maloney's Foundation Design class, RISD 2012. The project involved in-depth scientific and visual research regarding a single natural object (mine was a piece of quince-- a sour, pear-like fruit that turns bright red when it is dried.) After piles of tracing paper and form studies, I reached this final design.

History of Graphic Design. Assignment: Design a 17" by 34" poster detailing a key topic in Graphic Design history. My subject was the successful Volkswagen "Think Small" campaign of the 1950s by agency Doyle Dane and Bernbach.

Sometimes, thinking small is thinking big.
