For this project, I researched a famous graphic designer—Bradbury Thompson—and his body of work. I then designed a book with the intent of displaying Thompson’s work and educating the reader on his publishing career. I aimed to reflect Bradbury Thompson’s methods in the design of the book itself, thus making the book an embodiment of Thompson himself.
Sprouts is a fictional produce market I created and branded. It is intended to be an extension of 826 National, a nonprofit organization that teaches literacy to youths in the United States. Every 826 building has a storefront unique to its community, so I made Sprouts unique to Creston, a neighborhood north of Grand Rapids, MI.
For this website, I picked a non-profit organization near me, and I researched its history, brand, and website design. I then found the weak points in the non-profit\'s website design, and I re-designed it to be more functional and aesthetically pleasing. After designing the site with Figma, I coded it using html and css.
Restorative Death is an exploration of the environmentally damaging aspects of death. My partner Rachel Kuehnal and I focused on mycelium and how it could forge a sustainable alternative to death—and the future of industry. The projected experience was designed by me, and the physical experience was designed by Rachel.
For this project, I took an existing book, The Laws of Simplicity, and redesigned it to better suit the author, John Maeda’s, essence. The re-imagination of The Laws of Simplicity is a conceptual exploration of Maeda’s words and concepts via a multipage document.
