Northeastern University
Oh my love for academia. Here is a collection of work from typography, graphic design, and design history at Northeastern University. This portfolio is near and dear to my heart.
Love and Helvetica
Love and Helvetica and Stark Raving Bonkers is a book I created that has two different dialogues. It’s a combination of 1960’s fashion photography and the booming typeface phenomenon of Helvetica. It includes articles about David Bailey and Twiggy and additionally Helvetica’s influence on typography then and now.

Bootstrap
Bootstrap is a non-profit research-based curricular modules for grades 6-12 that teachers throughout the country can use within the math classes to teach math and can be used in after school programs. It represents a forward movement in education and project-based curriculums. Visit them here: www.bootstrapworld.org.
Inspiring students to be excited about computer coding could be a pretty hard sell. Inspiring students to love math is overall an incredible feat. How do you brand a curriculum-based product to 6th graders and inspire them to learn more? On top of that, how do you create a math workbook that is on brand but also designed for optimum usability?
The goal of the brand is to show students how they can actually be superheroes by learning to code and present the many different ways they can use their ‘coding super powers’ in their futures. Their first superpower task? Creating a video game (who doesn’t love that?) To redesign this brand and the math workbook, I used a human-centered design approach, visiting classrooms in Boston, interviewing teachers and students.
