Escape is a group zine printed and assembled in a living room in Lincoln Nebraska. All contributing artists attend RIT's VCD program between the years 2019-2022.

It is 32 full color pages, with 11 original art pieces, saddles stitched with 2 staples.

Galactic Interfaces is as much a love letter as it is an in depth study on how Hollywood uses interactive design as a storytelling element. The poster is primarily a grid of recreated interfaces from various Star Wars movies and shows. They are organized in ascending order of original release date (A New Hope to Andor). This captures both the design trends as they evolve over time and gives us an insight in how multiple design teams used the work proceeding them to solve the same visual problems.
