  1. honeygrow Fulton Market Menu Boards honeygrow Fulton Market Menu Boards — honeygrow is a super delish restaurant based in Philly. After they set a plan to open up in Chicago, their Chief Brand Officer Jen Denis reached out to me to connect with CreativeMornings/Chicago, since they lovingly support CreativeMornings/Philadelphia already. Amazing, no? It gets better. Jen then asked me if I'd be interested in lettering their menu boards, so of course, I had to say yes an...
  2. Break the Grid Wall Installation Break the Grid Wall Installation — Razorfish Chicago tasked its employees with developing an idea for one of the empty walls in our office. A couple of my coworkers and I came up with an idea to create an interactive yarn wall, with some accompanied lettering (also made from yarn), to reflect the ingenuity and creativity of the folks at Razorfish. Overall, I'm really happy with the way this turned out, and can't wait to see al...

  4. Chicago Summers Chicago Summers — Yeah, yeah, yeah, Chicago winters suck. I'm here for the summer.
  5. Brown & Proud Brown & Proud — When I originally lettered this, I designed the ampersand to be translucent and set behind the text. Since then, I've made some adjustments so that it's now suitable for printing. 🎉 I think this new ampersand fits even better. 👌🏽 Available now in my shop! ___ I take pride in being Latinx and in being a person of color, but I’d be lying if I said I’d always been a proud Latina. Growing up, ...

  12. No Freedom 'til We're Equal No Freedom 'til We're Equal — For a friend. Seems fitting considering the ridiculousness that was the first presidential debate. There words were uttered by a white cis man regarding the LGBTQ+ community, yet here, they were designed by a queer Latina with so many additional communities at heart.
