This was one of my favorite projects I’ve ever worked on. It allowed me to explore my personal style by building the design around my own words. For this project, I wanted to challenge what I already knew by combining analog and digital design processes. I used woodcut typography as the main statement, painting it onto an 18 × 24 canvas.


In the bottom corner of the canvas, I added a series of stacked vellum pages that I hand-stitched directly onto the surface. Each page features a different phrase from my manifesto, carefully designed in a typographic style that is both simple and exploratory.


My goal was to combine minimal design with bold, playful concepts. The main phrase of the manifesto is intentionally presented in a way that makes it difficult to immediately digest, reflecting the tone of my written words. I want viewers to feel as though they must work to uncover the ideas within the manifesto.
