To create an authentic camp experience, I drew upon my own memories of camping. I aimed to make the environment cozy and simplistic, channeling the essence of being immersed in nature. Additionally, I developed an entire system for the camp, including a cohesive color scheme consisting of orange, beige, and brown. The concept of "less is more" guided our approach, and the youth responded positively to the thoughtful design choices.
Through these illustrations, we aimed to tell a powerful story: that we, the affected individuals and our parents, are well-versed in the rules of the road, and we deserve the opportunity to obtain driver's licenses for a better future.
Working with Unidos MN on a campaign that was both challenging and inspiring. Our goal was to organize healthcare access for all Minnesotans, regardless of their immigration status. The passing of the healthcare spending bill by the state Legislature was a significant victory, as it allows undocumented individuals who meet income eligibility requirements to enroll in MinnesotaCare.

Making Movies is a psychedelic Panamanian band that makes American music with an asterisk: because Making Movies’ sound encompasses the entirety of the Americas. It’s through this broader perspective that Making Movies crunches classic rock into Latin American rhythms - African-derived percussion and styles like rumba, merengue, mambo and cumbia — in a way that feels oddly familiar, yet delivers the invigorating chills of hearing something singularly special.
El Tri is a Mexican rock band that originated from the breakup of Three Souls in My Mind in 1985.
