Graduation 2021

Created to celebrate the University of Michigan graduating class of 2021 and completed by a team of University of Michigan STAMPs School of Art and Design undergraduates in a five hour time span and measures 18 by 400 feet.
Before the paint went down, I took part in the design process and on the day of creation I played a lead role and had a hand in every step of the process: sizing and spacing the letters by hand; coordinating between teams to ensure a cohesive look; planning out, drawing, and taping the clouds and grad caps; assigning labor; and, of course, painting.

The entire mural was done by hand without stencils and was covered by several news sources (linked bellow).

Environmental Murals, 2021
2537 S Fort St, Detroit
15'x30'

Created to spark discussion about air quality in a zip code with the highest rate of pollution in the state and a high rate of illness to match, childhood asthma being an exceptionally prevalent ailment; particularly relevant as the mural is located across the street from an elementary school. This mural was created with the help and feedback of local activists and is painted on a state representative's office.

I was part of the design process, the physical painting, and the coordination between different teams.

Kerrytown Mural

Commissioned by the Kerrytown District Association, I headed the team to create this mural which honors Black historical figures in Ann Arbor. I lead the design for the project as well as directing the on-the-ground work, division of labor, clean up, allocation of funds, and painting itself. A foundational project for me in leadership, organizing, and planning.
