for Research
and Evaluation

Digital | March 2023
I worked on developing the visual identity for a learning module designed to help teens in parts of Kenya disclose their pregnancy and/or HIV status to loved ones and medical professionals.
The challenge of reliable internet connection and privacy dictated the capabilities of this project, leading to creating locally stored pdf that participants could access at any point.

Print | June 2021
Along with making dozens of dog collars, I got the chance to lead the 2021 Catalog project.
An antiquated way to order things now, this print was shipped to whole-sale customers. Repeatable patterns shown are designed by me.
