Concept and design for the Women’s Information Network’s 17th Annual Young Women of Achievement Awards invitation. The invite was sent via email and will be developed further into a print program. WIN provides resources for young, democratic, pro-choice women – thus the power suit and campaign buttons!

Back of the Book

By admin | Published: September 24, 2009

Each month for National Geographic, I design the back-of-the-book. Since starting this task 18 months ago, we have added new sections, reduced page count, and added a crossword puzzle. Here is a selection of months showing how the designs have developed. Click on thumbnails to view. August 2008 March 2009 October 2009

The Graphic Imperative

By admin | Published: September 22, 2009

Poster promoting a traveling exhibit, The Graphic Imperative, which visited U of M in 2009. I explored the posters-plastered-on-kiosks meme in my senior thesis, and extended my experiments to this poster-on-a-poster. The goal was to connect international social design to students’ everyday experience in Ann Arbor.

I designed and wrote The Michigan Independent’s Guide to Blue Activism for my senior thesis at the University of Michigan’s School of Art & Design. The book was written in collaboration with staff members of The Michigan Independent, a progressive monthly campus newspaper. The book was self-published and can be purchased at LuLu.com.

The Michigan Independent

By admin | Published: September 19, 2009

I helped to start The Michigan Independent, a student-run, progressive monthly newspaper. As the first design director, I designed the nameplate, folio, grid and layout. I also selected and art directed a cover artist each month. I produced the newspaper for a year and half before passing it along to new designers.
