t-art magazine
During my first year at Penn, I felt there lacked a creative community – a place where people with multidisciplinary artistic interests could meet. At the beginning of my sophomore year, I founded t-art magazine to bring together creators of all things to collaborate on projects.
t-art is a student-run publication focused on the innovative and collaborative nature of art, design, and technology. Striving to bridge the gap between artists and innovators at Penn and beyond, the group promotes greater engagement with the broader Philadelphia community. I knew this was a big endeavor, and my first task was to recruit a co-founder, Magnus Allan, to bring this project to life.
I designed the logo and website, flyers to distribute digitally and around Penn’s campus, as well as illustrations and motion graphics for articles and digital marketing. As editor-in-chief, I led and coordinated our digital and print editorial work. We published our first print issue in 2021, for which I led the art direction alongside Magnus Allan, and I designed the full 90-page magazine.
The following year, we conceptualized and curated an exhibition that coincided with the launch of our second print issue. Organized and co-curated by Adrianna Brusie, Caroline Jones, Avery Givens Nardone, and myself, the exhibition entitled ‘Resilience: Art & Design In Times of Uncertainty’, created a dialogue between the works of fifteen young and emerging artists based in and around Philadelphia. Our second issue, t-art magazine / volume 2, included works featured in the exhibition along with additional stories and interviews surrounding the theme of resilience.

Selection of spreads I designed below, in collaboration with Adrianna Brusie, Caroline Jones, and Alan Jinich.
Through an open call for submissions, the exhibition brought together fifteen young artists from across Philadelphia and opened in May 2022 at the University City Arts League in West Philadelphia. The selection of works, made since the onset of the pandemic in 2020, explored the multifaceted nature of resilience, with mediums spanning from painting and photography, to embroidery and experimental documentary practices.
For the exhibition, we created everything from the press release, posters, and promotional graphics for social media, to exhibition signage including brochures and artwork labels.
