Exploratory Mid-Point Design Studio Project

This project, Save Our Forests, challenged me to practice true sustainability and mindfulness. By learning to make my own ink and paper from found materials, I became very intentional about every material and small decision I made.

It led me to sit with the reality of how much waste is typically generated in conventional design work. I also came to realize how long some decisions take to reverse in other artistic disciplines. No Command Z here folks.
