Post-Authentic Sincerity

writing + web programming

For my degree project, I wrote an essay and programmed + designed a website to contain it. The writing analyzes realness, nature, and default systems in the context of graphic design, and proposes a new post-authentic approach to graphic design which acknowledges its commodity form.

Digitally Printed Wearables

Recent experiments designing into apparel patterns, then digitally printing onto fabric and sewing tee-shirts. I'm interested in the intersection of language, graphic design, and apparel: how do we wear words? Thinking about novelty, virtue-signalling, and a cultural obsession with authenticity, originality & specificity.
