Faith
Through
Generations

2021

I put this book together for several audiences: as always for my mom; for queer Christians who feel unheard; for Christians who can’t understand someone with a differing worldview loving Jesus; for those outside the Church who invalidate the judgement of queer people who choose to love Jesus. This is an exercise in challenging people to trust the validity of belief.

This book was typeset in Marquee for display, Average for the body and interview texts, and my own handwriting for annotations. Marquee is a slab sans-serif that commands attention while maintaining comfort with its roundness and imperfections. Average is used in academic readings, and so gives a sense of invisibility. The inclusion of my scrawled annotations makes readers feel like the book has already been read and tampered with, and encourages interaction.

This book was bound with comb binding, which I associate with church basements and publications. It gives an impression of accessibility and under-designed design.

Woke
Man's
Amazon

2020

This website was designed for DART 349 at Concordia University. I chose to create a website to tackle consumerism. We were encouraged to make use of our HTML + CSS knowledge to symbolically depict the topic on which we made our website. This is why I designed a mock e-commerce site, to make people familiar with the layout yet probe them to think twice about their consumption and purchasing.

Innovation Youth
Downtown
Garden Signs

2021

Innovation Youth has an urban agriculture program that runs several gardens around Peter-McGill. I had the pleasure of designing signage for all of the gardens this summer using illustrations by Jason Sikoak. This project included managing design, printing and installation.

The goal of this was to have signs that would last for several years, both physically and aesthetically. Innovation Youth’s program is aimed at young people, so I tried to capture their spirit of joy and youthfulness as well as the natural beauty and colours of the plants.

Montréal
Mission
Internship

2022

Montreal Mission Internship is a new program run by the Montreal Dio. It is aimed towards young people who aren’t exactly sure what their next life steps are, to help them figure out their future while living in a big city and with an emphasis on serving their community.

For this project, I created two versions of the logo for different mediums and gave recommendations for web design, color scheme and fonts. This included taking a font made by Flo Aniorté, ANTIFORM, and creating a bold version that could be used on their site. Feel free to email me for access to this font.

Between
Us Girls
Logo

2022

Between Us Girls was born with the goal of providing girls with a space to just exist and a program that would help them develop skills that will allow them to create a life that they want for themselves. Acknowledging the unique barriers that female-identifying youth in underserved communities face, they seek to help girls build confidence in themselves and their abilities, reach their full potential, and thrive.

Maria Chabelnik and I, under French Press Montréal designed a logo, color palette and branding guide for Between Us Girls' rebrand early in 2022. Our logo aims to communicate community, teamwork, and learning amongst generations.

FOFA
Catalogue

2021

Sita Singh, Maria Chabelnik, Gillian Richards, Flo Aniorté and I designed the catalogue for the FOFA Winter 2022 exhibition, The Sum of Our Shared Selves. This was a bilingual, 120-page publication that included the work of 14 artists, essays about them, artist bios, as well as a section including artist bios for the vernissage’s dance show. We also provided wayfinding flyers for the exhibition and informational flyers for the dance show.

Sita and Flo led the layout design. Gillian and Maria filled in text and photos, and did final edits. I worked on the flyers. We all worked together on the ideation process.
