DataHaven’s Community Wellbeing Index is a report focusing on wellbeing, equity, and quality of life in Greater New Haven, Fairfield County, and Greater Hartford, Connecticut.
For this project, we were tasked with the design of variant cover concepts and interior layouts for three reports presenting the latest data around these three topics for New Haven. Designed elements including cover design, layout, pagination, visualizations (tables, maps, icons, and infographics), and print mechanicals, as well as distinct color palettes for the visual identities of the three reports.

Banishing Orientalism
Phil Chan
“Through a thoughtful examination of ballet history, peppered with touching personal anecdotes, witty humor, and candid—but never judgmental—observations, Banishing Orientalism provides a look at how classical ballets that have historically relied on Orientalism can be reimagined beyond harmful tropes. Banishing Orientalism is a glimpse into a more equitable future for the quickly diversifying world of ballet, making this an essential read for anyone invested in the art form.” —Pointe Magazine
Our publication design for Phil Chan’s book Banishing Orientalism incorporates a combination of storytelling illustration, dynamic typography, and historic photography.

Cornell AAP Magazine
Cornell AAP
Cornell AAP is, a world-renowned college offering a triple focus of studies in architecture, fine arts, and regional planning. We’ve been producing printed communications for the college since 2011.
For this project, we produced bespoke magazines for the college. Each issue featured a spot color on the cover and table of contents, which was echoed in various highlight spots inside. The short cover reveals the table of contents on one side, inviting readers to open the magazine and explore the articles inside.

Client
The Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech is a place for dynamic experimentation, where the boundaries of academia are expanded to integrate technology, business, law, and design in service of economic impact and greater societal good.
We were tasked with designing a keepsake book and construction-fence display for the inauguration of the Institute’s campus in September 2017. The book’s cover features a T-shaped die cut revealing details of the Bloomberg Center, one of the campus’s architecture highlights. A gatefold map of Roosevelt Island highlights future plans for the campus’s development. For the campus opening, we designed a 632-foot fence covering an ongoing construction site, with materials identifying the architect behind the building under construction.

GDUSA 2019 American Graphic Design Awards
The Brooklyn Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), established in 1894, is the second-largest of the Institute’s five chapters in the New York City region.
To help the Brooklyn Chapter celebrate its 125th anniversary, we designed a campaign that visually centers the Roman numeral representation of 125—CXXV, or the quasquicentennial—as supergraphics on all of the Chapter’s platform materials, from website to gala booklets, umbrellas, and T-shirts.
