How do you squeeze water out of a cactus? What is the best way to flag down an airplane? Can you survive on boiled locusts and roasted snakes? All your desert survival questions are answered in Desert, my contribution to the Field Guidezine series.

I designed the new brochure for Resource Generation, a nonprofit that organizes young people with wealth to leverage their resources for social change. I was delighted to get to work with the talented writer Karen Pittelman again for the first time since 2006, when we collaborated on the book Classified: How to Stop Hiding Your Privilege and Use It for Social Change.

An information graphic debunking the urban legend that birds explode when they eat rice.

I made this poster as a public service announcement to let the world know they can stop throwing birdseed, blowing bubbles, or releasing live butterflies at weddings– as it turns out, rice is perfectly kosher for our feathered friends.

I designed this endorsement slate for the League of Pissed-Off Voters, an organization that engages young people who have historically been shut out of the political process to create change on a local and national level. 20,000 copies of this voting “cheat sheet” were distributed throughout the Twin Cities on the eve of the 2008 election.

Resource Generation asked me to design this special annual report in honor of their 10-year anniversary. I used the theme of the dime to represent the organization’s 10 years of making change.

Catherine Grothe, Christina Rimstad, Matt Van Ekeren & I collaborated on this conceptual response to Emil Ruder’s seminal text, Typographie: A Manual of Design. Inspired by the idea of traveling suitcase exhibitions, we expanded the book into an educational toolbox that includes a poster, stamp kit, motion graphic DVD, and a series of accordian-folded pamphlets tracing the thread of Ruder’s influence throughout contemporary design.

Christina Rimstad, Brandon Cotton & I created this proposed identity for the Moscow Museum of Modern Art. In the process of reimagining signage, merchandise and publicity materials for the museum, we drew from the legacy of ROSTA Windows—1920’s Russian stenciled propaganda posters hung in street windows to communicate political messages to the masses.
