Designing a 6-Panel CD Spread
Creation of Moontree 6-panel CD spread. When designing this 6-panel CD spread, I aimed to create a visual journey that complements the album’s tone and narrative. Each panel was thoughtfully crafted to balance striking imagery, bold typography, and subtle textures, ensuring the design flowed seamlessly across all folds. The front cover sets the tone with an eye-catching composition, while the interior panels delve deeper into the story, incorporating lyrics and visual elements that enhance the listener’s connection to the music. The result is a cohesive, immersive experience that celebrates both the artistry of the music and the design.
Imaginary Road 6-Panel CD Design
For this 6-panel CD spread, I drew inspiration from the serene yet rugged beauty of the desert. The design captures the interplay of light, shadow, and texture, with imagery featuring sweeping dunes, cracked earth, and warm, muted tones that echo the album’s themes. Each panel was thoughtfully arranged to guide the viewer through a visual journey, from the bold, evocative cover to interior panels that layer atmospheric photography and delicate typography. The result is a cohesive design that mirrors the expansive, meditative essence of the desert landscape.
Towards Circularity: Subverting a Paradigm of Waste
In this studio, I explored the circularity of materials within the architectural design process, examining how waste could be reimagined as a resource. The culmination of this research was an essay that reflected these ideas, which was honored with a feature in the Lisbon Trienal. This experience deepened my understanding of sustainable practices and their transformative potential in architecture.

Designing Graphics for a United Nations Publication
Creating graphics for a United Nations publication required a thoughtful approach to visually communicate complex ideas with clarity and impact. The design balanced informative visuals, such as charts and infographics, with compelling layouts that adhered to the UN's global standards and branding. Each graphic was crafted to enhance accessibility, ensuring the content resonated with diverse audiences while maintaining cultural and contextual sensitivity. The result was a cohesive, visually engaging publication that amplified the message and purpose of the UN’s work.
The Urban Walk-Up Housing Publication
The Urban Walk-Up Housing Publication is a comprehensive compilation of work produced by Northeastern University Architecture students from the Urban Institutions Studio. It features my project as a case study, alongside 52 other innovative projects that explore urban housing solutions. This publication showcases diverse approaches to designing walk-up housing, reflecting the creative and practical solutions developed by the studio, and highlights my contribution to this impactful academic exploration.
