(spatial, print, + digital)
I collaborated with artist Navine G. Dossos to create digital versions of selected pieces from her series of watercolor paintings, No Such Organisation, which were then installed as a new mural titled at the ICA at VCU.  Marketing Director: Meredith Carrington, Curator: Sarah Rifky, Vinyl Team: Cut Cut Creative, Photos: David Hale











(art direction, graphic design, branding)
My partner, Kevin Trinh and I co-founded HOYEHH! It’s his dad, Chung Trinh’s chinese-vietnamese chili oil recipe. HOYEHH is a Cantonese expression that translates to “good stuff” but is also used to express the feeling of “yay!” or “wow!” instagram: @hoyehhchilioil










(spatial, digital, print)
I worked with lens-based artist, dana washington-queen, who explores themes of freedom and escape through writing and video-making, to design and produce several pieces for their exhibition titled at the ICA at VCU.
    I worked closely with washington-queen to create a large vinyl mural that provided an intimate glimpse into the artist's process, thoughts, and research. Using provided photos, screenshots, and personal notes, I crafted a design that conveyed the feeling of looking at the artist's desktop.
    Additionally, I designed a large vinyl piece for their essay titled "Black Noetic." Other responsibilities included design for all gallery signage and vinyl needs, including the exterior window treatment, graphics placed around the gallery, and object labels. Marketing Director: Meredith Carrington, Chief Preparator & Exhibition Designer:  Andy Clifford, Curator: Enjoli Moon

(art direction, graphic design, branding, IRL experiences) Built Different is a branding concept centered around a collaboration between the WNBA and Supreme, leveraging their shared ties to street culture to re-ignite interest in the league. Through a carefully planned timeline of releases and events, this project builds on the hype surrounding Supreme, guerilla marketing, and exclusive merchandise as a way to incentivize fans to tune in and watch professional women's basketball, while also highlighting the impressive talent of the players. Made with: Cat Clark (Art Direction), Anari Flemming (Strategy), Amber Bills (Creative Brand Management), Taylor Bendus (Copywriter), Max Warren (Creative Brand Management)










(architecture, design, IRL experiences, printmaking, philosophy)
Selections from "Simultaneity," my undergraduate architecture thesis, integrating architecture, printmaking, and design to explore themes of identity, desire, time, space, power, multiplicity, narrative, storytelling, simulacra, and perspective.
   Through the creation of two distinct architectural environments and characters, I aimed to highlight the significance of considering the diverse perspectives and contexts of those who use and experience the buildings we design. Often, architects design in a "god-view" from above, overlaying grids and picking up relationships others cannot perceive. Which fails to capture the true experience of the building in its environment. My project aimed to shift this and design from the perspective view outwards while thinking about some of the most primal questions my human brain constantly wonders about.
    After completing this project I became extremely interested in making mental x-rays of the world I live in, the phenomenon of representation, and Jean Baudrillard‘s theory discussing simulacra, copies or representations of something that has no original, or whose original has been lost or obscured. Simulations and imitations of reality that have become detached from the original reality it is meant to represent. Leading to a situation where the simulation is mistaken for the reality itself, blurring the line between what is real and what is artificial. This idea has significant implications for media, culture, and politics, where images and representations can be used to construct a particular reality or version of events and is something I continue to research and increasingly see the relevance of every day.
    Things I was influenced by at the time I made this include: The German TV show Dark, Theseus and the Minotaur, Tekkonkinkreet, Art history generally, Lots of movies but Mr. Nobody and Rashomon specifically, Phenomena like the uncanny, the miniature, signs, and icons.
