Soon after I began my career as a graphic designer, I was given the opportunity to move to Spain to teach English at a public school in Madrid. From August 2023 to July 2024 I was living my dream of traveling the world, but I knew something was missing. That was when I started working my creative muscle and began to create these posts.

Each collage includes scans from my personal journal/sketchbook. I keep a blank Moleskin sketchbook on me at all times partly because creative ideas come at unexpected times, but also because I love collecting stories, drawings, words, etc. from strangers.Similar to my "Weird" project, the scans help to not only tell a story, but to contribute to the visual depth of my designs.These collages were made on illustrator using linked files from photoshop. Although this created a larger file size, it left room for live edits on the psd files.
