“THE 411”

2023

For Align’s “411” issue, I created and alternate dream world, driven by the Goddesses Greek mythology. This world I created reimagines the divine feminine as something deeply human—despite being powerful beings still crave connection and the ritual of checking in on one another. It’s all about myth meaning mundanity: a timeless conversation drapes in pearls, light rays, and soft floral pastels. This world illustrates how connection, friendship, and storytelling intersect when women create space for one another to simply exist, reflect, and feel seen

“ARTIFICIAL”

2024

CREATIVE DIRECTOR: CAMILLE ANDREWS
PHOTOGRAPHER: MARY GROSSWENDT
MODELS: ANASTASIA IRVINE

For Align’s “Artificial” issue, I wanted to shift to a distant uncanny future. A female cyborg with human characteristics and traits to showcase a mutation between humans and technology. In the world depicted in this project humans have become imbedded within the artificial world, and technology has fully morphed and connected to the human consciousness like a wire.

MY ROLE: ART DIRECTOR

THE CLIENT: Universtiy of Oregon Basketball Team

THE ASK: How can we transform the Oregon Basketball games attendance into a ritual that builds the community?

THE INSIGHT: Inconsistent schedules and a lack of shared identity have made it difficult for fans to form lasting connections with the team. We recognized that to build a devoted fan base, we needed to design not just a campaign, but an experience that transcends beyond the court.

THE IDEA: Craft a game-day atmosphere that’s magnetic—where energy builds before tip-off and lingers after the kinesthetic experience of the game. We aimed to create a visual language that transcended gender, age, and background. We leaned into universal tones, textures, and emotions—designing the campaign.

THE RESULTS: A campaign that didn’t just increase attendance—it reimagined the Oregon Basketball experience and gave the community a reason to show up, stay loud, and come back.

The ritual my piece address is my process of getting ready for bed in candlelight. Like my relationship to sleep and bedtime routines I initially struggled nailing the initial conceptual designs of what I wanted my piece to look like. Sleep has always been a struggle for me and the pressures of a proper ‘night time routine’ always felt so crushing. Adding candlelight into my nights as an adult altered the way I operate in the night. Flames blossom into the sky sending my intentions and wishes to the universe—the candlelight bridges the gap between me and the doom darkness represents to me. Maybe growing up with a nightlight permanently altered my relationship with darkness as it’s something I can admit I am still afraid of when I’m alone. While I am not religious I grew up attending a catholic church and I feel like evidence of this often unintentionally reveals itself in my work . I usually attribute this to the symbolic nature of creating ‘religion’, values, morals, and ideals in myself and in my life. The technique I implemented in this piece was a hybrid of shell forming, synclastic, and anti-clastic forming. It was important to me that the form take an organic shape, I think the relationship between metals and fire was an interesting concept. I wondered how I could take a medium such as metal and give it a fluid, floral, and dainty shape and essence. I wanted it to emulate the natural elements, earth, air, fire, and water. As something that most likely will sit on my bathroom counter or on my bathtub I wanted it to feel like something that was formed from within earth.

My piece portrays the omniscient presence of the souls belonging to the women of my family who preceded me yet remain within me to guide, comfort, and protect. By tracing images, maps, clothing, and various familial treasures I began to cut and splice differing parts of these images and arrange them in compositions I found embodied unity—and an alliance. 

THE SEA RING

This piece is a testament to my relationship with the ocean.  a symbol of vast beauty and the embodiment of the sublime. a messenger of Mother Earth, the ocean is not a force to reckon with.

I chose to represent my relationship with the ocean due to its parallels to metal. As the ocean is vast and unforgiving, so too is metal in its shape. This piece became my exploration of my simultaneous awe and trepidation toward the ocean, I aimed to capture the delicate nature of reverence and fear that defines my connection to the sea.
