Recovered from Archive/Designing for other planets
2024
How can design be utilized in a completely different environment? And how does one begin to design for problems that don´t yet (or may never) exist? This prompt asked us to first imagine human settlements on Mars, and then design for them. After doing some research on what conditions would be like on Mars and what natural resources might be available and sketching out ideas, I used a 3d software to mockup a rudimentary form of ID that human settlers on Mars could use to identify themselves in the future. Drawing inspiration from Cold War- era CIA documents and the X Files, I then presented this research as if it was an uncovered archival document from a failed American program to start a human colony on Mars, the important details having been redacted from the public eye.
Lucid Dreaming album artwork
2023
Album art for the release of an album called “By Night” by the fictional band Lucid Dreaming. I tried to theme the album´s design as if it were a mystery to be uncovered. Other inspirations included vintage risqué Las Vegas matchbook designs, the musical act Cindy Lee and an old Nancy Drew point-and-click PC game my mom let me borrow from the library when I was 8.
That’s Crazy2024
Do we choose to look and dress a specific way because it’s a genuine expression of our personality, or out of a desire to be perceived by others as the kind of person we want to be?
AAAH!

The prompt for this project was to design a poster based on overheard dialogue. One of my neighbors is a very noisy boy who loves to scream at full volume, throw things, bang doors and run around in the stairwell at all hours of the day. The bright, blocky and childish graphics visually reflect his sonic disturbances. Strange digital mashups of different facial features edited to resemble PS2 level graphics communicate the fact that I hear him all day, but I have never really seen him before and have no idea what he looks like.
