Sign in Kyoto, Japan.
I’m honored to be a part of two very cool projects. I won a $20,000 grant from paper company Sappi’s Ideas That Matter program which funds righteous print projects that graphic designers want to produce for non-profit organizations. I’ll be developing my flashcards on renters’ rights for tenant rights organization Tenants & Neighbors. A mock-up of the project can be found here and it’s all about making NY renting rights more fun to learn. Tenants & Neighbors and I will collaborate closely on creating a set that will be mass-produced and available in their online store in a few months.
I’m also excited to work with one of my favorite organizations, Center for Urban Pedagogy. They have a program called Making Policy Public that pairs designers with advocates to develop posters on public policy. I’ll be working with the Street Vendor Project to translate the complex regulations governing NYC street vendors into an accessible poster for all vendors. The poster will become a handy resource that they can use every day on the street when dealing with police officers and local store owners - while serving New Yorkers some of the best and cheapest food in town! Cheers to making important city information more accessible and engaging!
