2019 Wild Ducks Cards
IBM STUDIO PROJECT
Challenge: In the second year of the IBM Wild Ducks card deck project, I was lucky enough to be selected to contribute the Jack of Spades! Each designerβs illustration was to include either a reference to your suit, number, or both.
Contribution: I decided to incorporate the ultra trendy & (vaguely) spade-shaped Monstera leaf! Itβs basically a millennial requirement to have a bunch of Instagrammable plants in your apartment and recently Iβve noticed a ton of merch out there about being a βPlant Momββ so hereβs a Madonna & child style shoutout to all my fellow ~ plant moms ~ out there!
2018 Poster Design Challenge
IBM STUDIO PROJECT
Challenge: Bring a design thinking mantra to life for an 18x24" poster which pulls from IBM's heritage and current visual language.

2018 Sticker Exchange
IBM STUDIO PROJECT

Contribution: To me, the best vibes are chill hygge vibes so I decided to illustrate a comfy cozy girl reading and drinking some tea.
2018 Print Swap
IBM STUDIO PROJECT

2017 Chainletter
IBM STUDIO PROJECT
Challenge: Starting with the letter A, a designer from an IBM Design Studio would pass along the challenge to design the next letter of the alphabet to a colleague in another studio.
Contribution: I received an invite to participate in the Chainletter project for the letter V by a colleague in Austin, TX and passed the assignment along to a member of the RTP design studio in North Carolina.
