STRIKE MAGAZINE BOSTON 


Spring 2023-Spring 2024 | Graphic Design & Merchandise
 
Over the course of three semesters I was able to work with a very talented group of students to put together several issues of Strike Magazine, the nations largest student-run publication.  I have worked with both merchandise and print teams to deliver tangible products that visually and physically represented the creative essence of our publication. 

I really enjoyed my time with Strike and I’m grateful for the leadership, time management, and editorial skills I gained from this experience!





Spring 2024: Merchandise Director
The fifth issue of Strike Boston was about the story of a flower’s imagined life with themes of decay, renewal, bud, and bloom. I wanted the merchandise to reflect the floral focus of the issue, and enjoyed experimenting with photo treatment throughout this process! If you’re curious, please check out the fifth issue here!





Fall 2023: Editorial Design Director

I was given the opportunity to lead a team of designers through ideating, drafting, and finalizing the graphic design of an entire magazine. I planned and designed all spreads leading up to the first shoot- “To Hide”- while additionally redesigning, adding to, and formatting my team member’s spreads.
