In my spare time, I love to explore object & typographic compositions with various media. Below are a few examples of my studies that explore hand-lettered, object and lasercut type.

A 30-Day personal challenge to create compositions with everyday objects + statements that reflect the emotions and phrases heard throughout 2020 Quarantine. See more at @objectsandtype.

“Let Go” is a short object type exploration around the act of letting of go of things you can't control. Using the earths' elements, we used methods of melting, washing, freezing, etc. to manipulate and destruct type. Some objects used included butter, chalk, frozen grape juice and water. This was a collaborative project done alongside Jackie Littman.
