In honor of #AAPIHM, I'm teaming up with @Comcast In honor of #AAPIHM, I'm teaming up with @Comcast to share a mural I designed that adorns the walls of South Weller and 6th St (the former Nagomi Tea House). It was produced by @Urbanartworks, in #partnership with @Comcast and @iheartid. If you're ever in the Seattle area, please take some time to reflect on the colors and textures in the design that weaves elements found in the Pacific Northwest (Great Blue Heron, Mt. Rainier), East Asian cultures (Red Crowned Crane), and plants/landscape elements found in both regions (pine tree, flowering cherry, water and cloud patterns) to connect Seattle to the C-ID's varied heritage

The plum blossoms are cracking color which means t The plum blossoms are cracking color which means the cherry blossoms are close behind 🌸
Stylized botanical concept O-hanami (literally “flower viewing”) is a Japanese custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers. 

Don’t forget there are a lot of late-winter flowers to enjoy before the cherry blossoms too. I saw the biggest edgeworthia I have ever seen a couple weeks ago. Witch hazel, bodbant viburnum, cornelian cherries…there is so much to love

It’s here! My giant friends the great blue heron It’s here! My giant friends the great blue heron and the red-crowned crane have connected across the Pacific Ocean and landed here at 6th and Weller 🤩 I am so honored to have designed a mural that lives in the beautiful Chinatown-International District. Produced by @urbanartworks, in partnership with @comcast and @iheartid. 
Thank you to @uwajimaya for the space to house this piece and most importantly the 60+ volunteers that made painting this a community experience 🤍🤍🤍

Being + Becoming // Box With Photos of its Own Mak Being + Becoming // Box With Photos of its Own Making (2017), one of me + @calmserv’s first collabs when we were insufferable design students. A riff off of Robert Morris’ “Box with Sounds of its own Making”. Slide film, fir box, translucent acrylic, LED strip lights. 

We both have collections of slide film and can swap out the slides if we wanted to which is extra fun.
