From Winter 2023-Present, I have volunteered time with Kensington, Maryland’s Juneteenth Committee to build a website to further promote their mission of sharing the history and significance of Juneteenth and their third annual celebration. View the full website here.

Doubles Coffee Club Beginning in Summer 2021, Doubles café began a subscription coffee club featuring local and national roasters as a way to engage with customers during the pandemic. The club is now a mainstay, with members receiving beans and guides on how to grind coffee. An original benefit of the club was access to instructional videos on how to brew with different instruments. As the café’s Social Media Manager at the time, I filmed what would become a mini series with what resources I had at hand—a DSLR camera, DaVinci Resolve, and a sense of humor. You can see the full series here, but below is one of my favorites:
For Starters is a compilation of recipes from DC’s Sonny’s Pizza and the Spring 2020 virtual baking series that was developed in response to the pandemic. This book was developed with then Kitchen Manager Hannah Wolfman-Arent. In addition to recipes, the book includes visual guides, virtual demos, and helpful variations to make each recipe your own. For this project I photographed all recipes, copyedited, developed layout in InDesign, and coordinated both printing and digital publication. (I even contributed a recipe for Jamaican Patties!)
HOMEGROWN was a 6-week exhibition presented by DC’s Transformer in 2017. The exhibition showcased “local art, agriculture, and business and examin[ed] what it means to sustain a hyper-local lifestyle in DC.” In addition to providing exhibition support, I collaborted with then Program Manager Valerie Wiseman on producing the HOMEGROWN zine which featured the orgranization’s FlatFile artists, their work, and submitted recipes for both edible dishes and life.
HUE: Color, Culture, Theory is a series of print and web-based zines, created from 2016-2017, dedicated to the exploration of color in terms of its chemical composition, historical origin, and cultural significance. HUE was co-edited by myself and Niki Afsar, and invited an array of contributors to share their ideas on hues we see throughout our lives. Each issue reflects on a color prompt inspiring poems, articles, illustrations, and more. Find all the zines here. Select issues can be found at the Rhode Island School of Design's Fleet Library Special Zines collection and the Brown University's Sarah Doyle Women's Center.
