Facebook NYC Analog Research Lab Residency.
I had the pleasure of taking up the role of the Winter 2019 Analog Research Lab Designer in Residence for Facebook NYC. For my residency, I was tasked with creating content to connect with Facebook employees through design, and contribute to the creative culture of the Facebook environment.

People are like plants. We need a little watering to grow.
For the theme of my Analog Research Lab residency, I focused on the topic of growth. Though primarily a digital designer who worked mostly on my tablet and computer, I revisited my craft with an analog approach and created a large body of posters, zines, and sculptures

“Facebook has a lot of focus on community, which is beautiful. I wanted to connect to that and refocus it towards the individual with the idea that when you grow, your community grows with you.”
— Me
“
Nurturing something teaches you how to nurture yourself. It’s growing because you grew.

— Myself
“
When you take care of yourself, you’re a better person for others. When you feel good about yourself, you treat others better.
