Ry Flora Creative Business Plan
During my final semester of college, I enrolled in The Entrepreneurial Artist, a class where our semester-long project involved creating an editorial-style creative business plan. In my booklet, I explored the logistics and opportunities of working as a music producer, visual designer, and merchandiser under the name Ry Flora.
‘JUST TAKE THE HELMET OFF’ ZINE
For my Communication Design 1 final project, I designed a four-page zine exploring skateboarding culture. The zine reflects on my personal experience of judgment for wearing a helmet when I started skating at 10 years old. It also offers a broader perspective, advocating for contemporary skateboarding culture to embrace less self-destructive behaviors and foster a stronger focus on health and well-being.
THE SUNTREE JOURNAL
I created The Suntree Journal, a one-of-one, 20-page booklet using an authentic risograph printer and custom binding techniques. This project features a compilation of short reflections on universal aspects of the human experience, including intuition, uncertainty, presence, nondualism, and the transformation of suffering. Each sentiment was drawn directly from my journal, making this one of my most vulnerable and introspective works.
