2003 BLACKOUT 32 x 20 inches
Referencing a 300-page government report, Blackout is a highly dynamic infographic composed of multiple sets of data surrounding the U.S./Canada 2003 Northeast blackout. The greatest challenge in creating this project was correlating macro/national time line events with local/micro, second-by-second blackouts.

How to Write About Africa Leather-bound book
Combining collected items from travels and maps, I created scanograms to be a reflection of the text. How To Write About Africa is a satirical essay about misperceptions of the African continent and cultures that reside there. The scanograms or "glitches" serve as a metaphor for these misperceptions. The book is a pull-out accordion with a leather case from Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa.

VITA: The Cancer Prevention Network Logo + Poster
Vita is an imaginary non-profit I created. The poster is a component of a brand identity, which includes a logo, postcards, and other applications. Combining crisp type with crayon, I attempted to visually communicate, at first glance, a children’s non-profit through the hand of a child.
