Police killed at least 1,329 people in 2023. It’s the deadliest year for police violence since 2013. There were just 14 days in the entire year where police did not kill someone in the United States, a troubling and undeniable fact that we have an epidemic in this country that requires us all to step up and protect our communities.
Here we go, it’s gonna be something
Team call. Amazing seeing all the beautiful faces. Refreshed, recharged. Ready to get to it. Here we go, it’s on. It’s going to wild, and we’ll all write home about it.
Hi Design Threads.
I’m an independent designer, activist, and collaborator working with other humans to move the needle. To make the world a tiny bit better through community building, criminal justice reform, climate action, and local organizing all whilst listening to music very loudly.
Wanna cowork? Pop-ins welcome.

Demo
A series of collages that showcase the big systems surrounding us and defining our days. Assembled with found imagery from various stock sources and the Library of Congress, the imagery is paired with lyrical reflections on how these systems define us — property, currency, the stories we tell, generations, etc.
Conceptualized loosely around the idea of the demo. As in, if I had the time and the talent to make these songs, that’d be ideal. But I don’t, so they’ll exist as pieces of graphic design instead.
