Editorial Illustrations @ The Daily Californian

I started as a designer in September 2021, served as a design editor (Head of Illustrations and Infographics) in the summer of 2022, and have been Senior Staff since then. During the academic term I illustrate on a (roughly) biweekly basis for the Opinion and Arts & Entertainment departments. Sometimes I'll do a piece for special issues. I took home first place in the category of "Best Photo Illustration" at the 2023 California College Media Awards.
