Just Receipts, Marine DreamsJust Receipts, Marine Dreams
Design a body of work based around the financial tragedy of an emotional decision to purchase a 28' Chris Craft boat. The design process, and the development of objects in the form of books, was a way for me to get over this disappointment.
Just Receipts is an annotated catalogue of receipts for purchases made during boat restoration process.
A second book, Marine Dreams, dwells on the less tragic part of the story, the original inspiration to own and restore a boat.

Know your food.informing the consumer about genetically modified foods.
I would like to execute my proposal by making a two-faced advertising campaign. The first thing I want to do is raise awareness, followed by a point of action. I would like to create a new food label containing information about GMOs in food production (information design), [then] start an advertising campaign educating the general public about the new food labels and about the GMOs themselves.current —
