How would you define making it big?

Making it big for me is being able to live comfortably while doing what I love.

What's a big move that has shaped you?

A big move that shaped me was a literal move to Valencia when I was in high school; if I hadn’t had moved here, I probably wouldn’t be at CalArts today.

What's your next big move?

Trying to graduate and stay healthy.

CalArts T-Shirt Show Promotion Materials

A collaboration with Ethan Östling and Tiana Li, we not only ran the Graphic Design T-Shirt show, but designed all of the promotional materials. We all designed a poster using various “T” puns. Ethan designed flyers to put around the school.

Our biggest piece was a giant t-shirt, with the graphic designed by Tiana, and made by me. I sewed two king size sheets together to create the body, and used 4 pillow cases for the sleeves, using red fabric for the trim. I then tiled and ironed on the design, and hung it near the caf using a metal hanger made by an alum.
