A collection of photography from academic and personal projects
This mural led UICA guests down the ramp and into the showcase of Warm Water: New Works by Charles Edward Williams which was a visual narration on the history that sparked the Chicago Race Riot of 1919.
100 Lines represented the 100 years since 1919.
This project was split between Chris Fox, Elyse Flynn, Becca Rapin, Jasmyne Schierbaum, Alex Barger, Tylan Davis, Dave Ruggeri, and myself.
This project was a performance-based piece during ArtPrize 10. For two weeks, we operated as a company called the Grand Rapids Fine Art Delivery Company, printing on-site during open ArtPrize hours and delivering off-site on the side.
Our initiative was to facilitate an exchange across communities, whether they were personal or wide-spread. We printed responses to the prompt “Community is…” and delivered them to those who left us their information.
This project was split between Not Design members: Chris Fox, Elyse Flynn, Becca Rapin, Jasmyne Schierbaum, Alex Barger, Tylan Davis, Dave Ruggeri, Amy Strouse, Camellia Jobst, Katharine Watson, and myself.

For every response, we’d print two: one for our wall and one to be sent out for delivery
Photos of the 2020 event & description coming soon!
Small Talk was an interactive thesis piece that focused on digging deeper than typical, surface-level conversation. From the ceiling hung over 100 cards with prompts that asked blatant and meaningful questions. The cards hung as the centerpiece in the middle of a U-shaped couch, offering easy access for in-depth, face-to-face communication.
At the end of the couch sat a screen looping a video of satirically asked surface-level questions.
To keep the project alive, I’m creating a simple website that generates questions for those stuck in conversation or merely excited to know more about the person in front of them. Link coming soon
Yogi Tea sparked back in the 1960’s when students in Yogi Bhajan’s class sipped on his family recipes from India.
He was a very inspirational teacher that had many documented quotes and mantras. To honor the history of Yogi and the wisdom of Bhajan, this campaign is to emphasize these quotes in a limited edition of the “wisest” teas.
