Projects:
Posters for a Cause
Was displayed at: Betty Bakery, 221 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn (Also viewable on LinkedIn profile)
This was a school project that me and my Pre-Press & Print Production class did during my Spring 2024 semester at Pratt Institute. Our assignment was to create a poster about any kind of cause so that the posters could help spread awareness about them. I chose to make mine about eating disorders since I’ve suffered from one my whole life, ARFID. This project became very dear to me because I felt like I could finally be vulnerable and talk about my disorder and hope that maybe this poster will help others that are suffering from their eating disorders too.
