For the first time in eight days I wore a "real bra" and god, it's just as awful as I remember.

Wouldn’t it be cool if we had an honest and constructive conversation about America’s relationship with firearms where we actually prioritized our citizens’ lives? Because 17 kids and adults protecting them didn’t need to die today.
Read MoreAs a nonprofit designer, I often feel as though I design on an island. Surrounded by a sea of for-profit creators, I watch as their branding projects and high-value accounts push their careers forward, delivering the same type of content over and over again in an echo-chamber of cubicles. Most of those designers, working in a world of decks and budget line items at least 3x higher than my annual pay, are ignorant to the amazing work being done on little islands like mine where resources and admiration are scarce, but skill is high and the hustle is real.

I just love this title sequence so much, guys.

Since finishing school, apparently all I do is go home from work, ignore my dishes, and draw random things. It's the cathartic habit I didn't know I needed apparently.

For the past two years, I've operated under the assumption that as a Designer I was a creative professional, but I never presumed to be an Artist. In fact I've actively avoided calling my work "art" or investing too much of my own narrative into my projects. (Style and personality, yes. Narrative, not so much.)

Two years ago, I decided to change up my life in unexpected ways and went back to school. Little did I know just how much would change in that time. Goals and expectations for the future, lifestyles and personal capacity, my own skills and sense of self all look so different now than when I started in 2015. To say I’ve grown a lot would be an understatement.

Sometime around 7th grade, I just stopped drawing. No idea why, except that maybe it had something to do with a general lack of confidence and a greater awareness of boy bands and Abercrombie shopping bags. No matter the reason, the fact remains that for 15 years, that skill lay dormant—getting rusty and becoming quite unfamiliar.

I wanted to create a piece that normalized the female body and encouraged women to rewrite society's pre-packaged narrative about what is acceptable, beautiful, and normal. To convey the fact that this struggle has been a multi-generational and a deeply personal fight for women, I made a point to film myself and paired that with found footage and stock imagery from previous decades.
While no one video can immediately change the lens through which we view our bodies, I hope this can be a catalyst for conversations or at least provide some entertaining information.

When your best friend gets married and you are a designer, you are more or less contractually obligated to design any and all the things she may need. (Let's be honest, it's kind of nice to have a built-in wedding gift!)

Sometimes you make weird shit in art school. During your Saturday class. After never going to bed. You're welcome.

The more I learn about design, my own personal aesthetic, and the never-ending amount of software magic in the world, the more I'm convinced I've chosen the right career. I feel like I'm just scratching the surface of these explorations and every day I'm excited by the prospect of what new project will be around the corner.

GLORY
One day when the glory comes
It will be ours, it will be ours
One day when the war is won
We will be sure, we will be sure
Oh glory
I was having a rough week and then Neil deGrasse Tyson went and tweeted out a gem, inspiring my greatest album cover yet.

I made this poster because I couldn't figure out what to say after the election. I put almost 100 up around my neighborhood and there has been a pretty rad response to them, including some people making their own versions to add to the community. So in that spirit, I thought I'd make it available for download. If you want to spread the love in your own neighborhood, feel free to download this PDF and print as needed. We're in this together, friends.

I’ve been sitting on the following post for awhile now. Maybe I was just waiting for the right time to share, but more likely I was trying to decide if I really wanted to say this at all. In general, vulnerability is not a muscle I like to exercise very often. However, as we stand at the edge of this election, I feel like maybe it’s time to ovary up and personally ask you to make impactful choices with your ballot. This election cycle has ripped open a lot of poorly-patched wounds in our country and those won’t finally heal without some serious conversations and, unfortunately for me, some sharing. Personalization and all that.
