Author and designer of a 7-book thesis series for my MFA thesis project—6 supporting books and 1 main, along with portfolio book— in a custom designed clear acrylic case. The supporting books include commentary from artists and designers I interviewed while on our MFA class tours in NYC and Boston; the black/white book cover is my main paper research where I examined the future of print and digital mediaI also created over 45 handmade collage illustrations for each cover and interview topic. This research catapult my passion for collage art and illustration. This was a capstone project for my MFA at Marywood University, Scranton PA (2008-2011).
