Thesis has been super stressful but I’m really thankful for my Jemie who always makes sure I take breaks and is a constant source of delight in my life. She’s super smart, fun, sassy, and sweet. HAPPY 9 YEARS to the best dog one could ask for.

This is a still from a stop motion video I created showing various projects from my first year at SVA. The video is a sort of commercial for my work and represents my serious, curious, and playful attitude. 1.)Viles from my “Happiness” book set 2.)Self-portrait poster 3.)Imitation is Empty poster 4.)Mini pinatas that represent a 6′ black cloud pinata I made for a friend 5.)How to hail a taxi 6.)Accordian book set 7.)A zebra on a taxi 8.)Yes, that is Chris Hansen (from another video project).

I thought it was about time to change my homepage graphic, but I’m really going to miss my “open” sign. I plan to make some changes to my site in the near feature, mainly updating the functionality while still keeping the look pretty simple. Hopefully that will happen sooner than later.

Allan Chochinov, partner of Core77 and one of my professors from last Fall, is heading up a new MFA program at SVA called Products of Design. I think I have an unintentional theme of “delight” in my work so I was really flattered when they asked to feature one of my products on their homepage. More here.
