Spudlery

Spudlery is spud cutlery: single-use utensils made from potato starch and soy oil. Plastic alternatives are a future-forward solution to our pollution problem. In fact, it's hard to imagine there was ever a time before plastic. That's why I created an identity for Spudlery inspired by the past—rubbe (...)

Reflect/Adoption

Reflect/adoption started off as a personal self-reflection on my adoption experience. After stumbling upon a handwritten note I wrote at age nine to my birth mother, I realized I have never taken the time to sit down and reflect on my adoption story. Over the past 24 years, I’ve accumulated memories (...)

The subway is an equalizer--everyone sits in the same seats and everyone feels the same loneliness (...)
