GAY IS HAPPY Sticker Set, 2022
FEM TOP Sticker Set, 2023
SYRO utilizes stickers to spread a message. They use their mission mantra D.R.E.S.S. (Dismantle, Revolt, Eradicate, Subvert Systems) to disrupt the public with awareness with laughter.
Before SYRO hired me as a design intern their stickers embraced typography rather than illustration. My first project was to create a sticker that will be released with their Fall 2022 drop (Black TR-XL and pink TR Deserts, Modeled by the stick figures).
“It’s not about the shoes you wear, it’s about the life you lead in those shoes.”

CUNT Craft, 2022
I lead the design initiative for the craft paper wrapping the leather stir-up accessory. The craft paper was designed to be a two-in-one touch point: wrap the product + poster of the product. Approximately 15 different varitions were drafted before reaching our final print.
Cunt (adj) - subversed term used to describe something as impressive or fantastic in regard to style or demeanor
