subect: Transhumanism Exhibition at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles
This pair of posters was created for a speculative exhibition at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. I was tasked with conceptualizing a show and bringing that show to life using a specific visual language. The posters became a jumping off point for a more comprehensive branding identity. This exhibition would feature futurist artists, makers, and thinkers imagining a world beyond our current physical forms. These imagined forms deviate from dominant speculative narratives favoring classist, racist ideologies. The exhibition would display alternate futures that not only include marginalized groups, but celebrate the potential of future liberation for every body.

subect: Two Lines Align: Comparing Two Influential Designers
Third year designers at CalArts are asked to compare and contrast two designers of their choice (one historical, and the other contemporary) with a double-sided poster that was ultimately made into a book. For this project, I chose to research and compare the works of Muriel Cooper and Mindy Seu. I began by looking into their designs and picking a couple of pieces that I could clearly delineate. Next, I researched their techniques and sensibilties in order to imbue the posters with a similar graphic language. Both Seu and Cooper are concerned with technology and communication; this concern informed the computer and Net-era aesthetic of the posters. The poster was created under a tight 14-hour turn around, and the constraints of it being turned into the page of a large book meant treating margins and typography with that in mind.

subect: Another Gaze RedCat screening
This hand screenprinted two-color poster was commissioned by RedCat for Brazilian feminist film journal Another Gaze. It was made in collaboration with fellow designer Dariia Zamrii. The screening featured six films by six different women created under Brazil's dictatorship. The style of the poster was inspired by classic Bauhaus typography with a bold punk twist. We took elements from the film journal's publication and abstracted those elements to create subliminal eyes that gaze back at viewers.
