Zines
Inmate and
Other Dirty Words
Design, Writing
Inmate and Other Dirty Words examines the profound impact of language in shaping perceptions of those affected by the carceral state. This zine confronts the use of dehumanizing terms like "inmate" and "offender," revealing how such labels reinforce stigma and justify harm. Instead, it advocates for people-first language—an intentional shift that centers humanity, dignity, and the complexities of lived experience. Through critical analysis and reflection, Inmate and Other Dirty Words challenges readers to reconsider the power of words and their role in systems of oppression and liberation.
PIG
Design, Writing
Pig delves into the etymology of the word "pig" as a slang term for police, examining its historical origins and cultural significance. The poem draws from the activism and rhetoric of the 1960s, particularly within the Black Power Movement, where the term was widely used to critique law enforcement’s role in upholding systemic oppression. By weaving together movement history, language evolution, and the power of resistance, Pig reflects on the enduring struggle against state violence and the ways in which words themselves become tools of protest.

The Quote Sticker Pack celebrates the wisdom and power of abolitionist thought leaders who have shaped the movement for a world without cages. Featuring bold typography and striking designs, each sticker highlights a powerful quote from voices like Beth E. Ritchie, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Mumia Abu Jamal, Mariame Kaba, and Ursula Wolfe-Roca.

Stickers
Inspired by DIY zines and street art, the Zine Style Sticker Pack was produced for decARcerate. Ripped straight from the heart of the movement—these stickers are bold, raw, and made to be seen, turning abolitionist slogans into portable protests.
T-Shirt Design
Our collective work demands not only the dismantling of oppressive systems but also the creation of just and liberatory alternatives in their place. I designed this t-shirt for the 2023 Annual decARcerate Conference as a reminder that our fight isn’t just about tearing down prisons—it’s about cultivating something new in their absence.

Lilac and Dancing

Book Cover Design
I designed these covers for my poetry books Dancing in the Eddies and Lilac. Lilac is a chapbook that explores the arc of a relationship from beginning to end, delving into themes of love, loss, and the complexities of human connection. In thirty-four parts, Dancing in the Eddies examines birth, death, love, loss, and the dangerous work of becoming in the wake of dismantled dreams.
