A Graphic designer remixing language and culture
Projects
Wayfinding and signage project for a Chelsea based Tech client. The project features two loading docks that integrate bold coloring and dynamic stencil cut arrows as part of the design system.
A magazine exploring hype culture and its intersection with art.
A magazine created that captures my research into cultural appropriation and exchange. Who has the right to art and cultural ideas? When is it considered offensive? When is appropriation really just homage?
