Cubs Baseball Pointe Shoes Bud’s Donuts London Tea Delmar Loop Sparklers Farmhouse Bookstores Roger’s Park Pike’s Place Passport & Chicago Skyline
Heavily symbolic, tokens of memory. Guided by visual clues and cues. The surface holds an untranslated joy to those unaware of what stories of home, near and far settle beneath the bright faces of photographs. 8
Time 1. I have always had empathy for the underdog (see broken crayons). 2. I was a dancer for 14 years and my greatest joy was getting to dance on pointe, when I moved studios I could not do that anymore, I stopped dancing shortly after. 3. Bud’s is in Interlochen, MI. It is one of my favorite places to eat in the world and if you called ahead they’ll bake you fresh cookies. At the end of the day, they’ll give you all of their donuts. 4. My dad worked in London when I was young and when we went to visit my favorite thing to do with my mom and my sister was to stay in the hotel for tea and biscuits with lemon curd, jam, and lots of sugar. 5. The loop is the place that feels most like home to me in St. Louis, I lived there for just a semester but it is where all of my happiest memories in college have taken place at Meshuggah, Mission Taco, and Subterranean. 6. I love lights: fireworks, sparklers, fairy lights, candles, etc. light makes me feel like I belong. 7. We used to go to the farm every year as a kid, each time the farmhouse would collapse closer and closer to the earth, when we went there during my unc;le Sam’s funeral, it had taken to the form of the earth below. 8. Bookstores are my happy place. 9. Growing up in Roger’s park was dangerous and isolating and also the location of a happy childhood. 10. Tea, fruit, fish, coffee, what else is there to life? 11. Wanderlust setting turned on. 12. Chicago’s skyline late at night has always been an obsession of mine, especially lights in the windows there’s a story in each one, lit or dark.

Books Postcards Bags Maps Tickets Illustrations Journals Cookie Tins My introduction to design was through objects of travel. I liked collecting physical visual things that described memories and colored in details that I won’t remember over time.

Harmony lies between the brightness of fireworks and symmetry of the donut. Chocolate with pink glazing and soft pastel sprinkles. 29
“The wrong
sort of bees!”
Present: Story 30
Interested in how bees have become a sort of vanity cause, I listened to Adam Allington’s business of bees podcast and researched the difference between honey bees and native bees. The goal of the project was an education on people who are invested in the cause on what species was actually at risk for extinction.
