BAM Winter/Spring 2026 NEW
I designed BAM’s Winter/Spring 2026 identity. The 50th anniversary of DanceAfrica and Pina Bausch’s landmark work Vollmond (Full Moon) are at the core of this season. The graphic identity is built on the materiality and vitality of both these programs. BAM is where raw edges meet. And I’m calling it now — pink is big in 2027.

Love from BAM, phase 2
2020Love from BAM was a newsletter launched in March 2020 at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. We stayed in touch with our audiences and shared virtual live programming and archival content from the BAM Hamm Archives as New Yorkers sheltered-in-place.
My illustrations focus on the period of the pandemic when we cautiously began going outside again. Each illustration was a personal meditation on how tenuous our connections to others and to the world had become. It was a strange time and unfolded in continuously unexpected ways, but I loved illustrating this lead art every week.
Kayla Battle illustrated the identity for the first phase of Love from BAM.

Pinned Down? Rise Up!
2017—2018The “PINS” (Person In Need of Supervision) program is a legal process that introduces a young person to the criminal justice system, and which can cause immediate and long-term harm to young people and their families by increasing the likelihood of detentions and out-of-home placements. We collaborated with CUP and CCFY to design a poster that illuminates the downfalls of the PINS process and empowers families to consider community-based alternatives to PINS for their young people.
Designed with Jeffrey Louie. In collaboration with The Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP) and Community Connections for Youth (CCFY) as part of CUP’s 2017 Making Policy Public program.
