The Daily Californian's 2020 merch collection was headlined by this limited edition tote bag.
As the lead production designer for all internal merchandise, I designed a vector graphic of a scene that would be very familiar to any Daily Cal staffer: a busy tabletop with a laptop, some stationery, our newspaper, a plant to liven up the environment, and of course, a hot cup of coffee — a necessity for all those late nights in the office.

“If the Department of Defense can spend upwards of $80 million on erectile dysfunction drugs, I expect my sister’s menstrual products to at the very least be tax free.”
For this issue of Berkeley Political Review, I wanted to make a cover that told a story. Working with the article author and researching political cartoons and visual metaphors, I illustrated an image of pads and tampons being held out of reach, with stairs to represent financial ability.

After several other recent explorations of various AI tools, I decided to merge them with my journalism background to create a project discussing the political and social implications of predictive technologies.
After training GPT on a set of 300 recent articles in all news categories, I generated new articles and headlines in politics, national and local news, opinion, arts, entertainment, and sports, and then used Dall-E to produce matching images.

The prevalence of mass shootings in the United States has numbed the entire country, and our politicians have nothing but platitudes.
After parsing through a full set of data of mass shootings that took place in the U.S., I created a collection of 12 zines, each listing out mass shootings that had taken place in the past year. Every zine actually listed out different shooting events, and one would only realize the sheer amount of shootings that took place in this country when they realized the book contained only one piece of the puzzle.
This project is one that has to be experienced live and by a community — the same way protests and mass mobilization need to be to cause social change.
One of the twelve zines are available to view by clicking the button below.
