2021-Present

When I relocated from Los Angeles to Denver, I was looking to connect with artist and designers in my new home. I saw that AIGA Colorado had a volunteer opportunity in Denver's Santa Fe Arts District. Giving Voice is an annual exhibition at Access Gallery, an organization that provides opportunities for people with disabilities through the arts. The annual Giving Voice program pairs local graphic designers with young people at Access Gallery to create a social justice poster about an issue that is important to the teen. Over a three-week mentoring period, the teens and graphic designers meet to discuss issues, designs, and ultimately reveal the finished posters. The Giving Voice program culminates in an exhibition at Access Gallery featuring these posters in conjunction with the Cause Related exhibition, which features posters donated by designers from around the country.

On display from July-October 2024 at the Denver Art Museum.
