This year I was asked to make the illustrations for the altar created by the combined families of En Nuestra Lengua and Jewish Family Services at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens. I was happy to do it and I loved getting to draw botanicals again after so long. 
The piece features the often traditional cempaxochitl along with the flor de mayo, an orchid and the national flower of Colombia to reflect the national origin of several families.

I spent 5 months working with Dr. Christine Asidao, Director of the Mary A. Rackham Institute and their marketing team at the University of Michigan co-developing an advertising campaign to promote awareness of the organization.

I worked with The University of Michigan LGBTQ+ Oral History Project for over 2 years. The project initially started in 2021 and was meant to coincide with the 50th Anniversary of the Spectrum Center displaying the voices of the queer community at U of M and Ann Arbor.
