Screen Printing
Screen printing has heavily influenced my approach to design. I enjoy the hands-on, trial-and-error nature of the process and the way it pulls me away from the computer to embrace imperfection. Colors rarely print exactly as expected, screens develop flaws, and ink can behave unpredictably, but those imperfections are what give screen prints their character. Rather than taking away from the final piece, I feel those inconsistencies add personality and make the work feel more authentic and tactile.
    
Where is my mind 
This was my first screen printing project, using the inherent imperfections of the process like misregistration and chromatic aberration to create a glitching effect. The illustration was also created by me, with the typography drawing inspiration from “Where Is My Mind?” by The Pixies. The head was produced using a scanner: a hand-drawn illustration of a woman’s face that was intentionally shifted mid-scan to distort the image and emphasize the analog glitch aesthetic.

Don't fall down
This screen print was created as a small poster for a larger project titled Gonzo Skateboards. It combines photography with a CMYK color process and halftone textures to build the base image, with subtle chromatic aberration added in Photoshop. White illustrative doodles were then layered on top, aligning with the Gonzo Skateboards branding and giving the final print an additional graphic, hand-drawn layer.
