Linen

A volunteer-based initiative, this project explores how design can create inclusive,
sensory-calm spaces in a rural setting. Merging graphic, interior, and architectural design,
it centers neurodiversity and the importance of process over result.

Unsaid

A zine that blurs the boundaries between media and art. Readers become voyagers,
moving through tales of media exploitation, manipulation, and the commodification of imagery.
