I created the title installation and catalogue for an exhibition focusing on photographic collage and impermanence.

I hypothetically rebranded an organization fighting to preserve the temperate rainforests in Alaska.
Rainforests are categorized by an annual precipitation of 68 to 78 inches. The only difference between a tropical rainforest and a temperate one is the temperature. Although the coastal temperate rainforests of Alaska don't receive as much attention as those in the Amazon, they are still every bit as important and every bit as endangered.

I branded a multi-disciplinary designer by using the visual identity as a container for the types of work being done.

When visitors scroll through the site, the disciplines come together to reinforce the visual identity.
