PROJECTS
Pharmacy Books
I've been publishing artists' books and editions since 2018 (previously known as First Last). Our launch events have spanned across New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Tokyo. The project serves as a platform for exploration in photography, design, and publishing. Our publications can be found at the Haas Arts Library (Yale University) and the Fisher Fine Arts Library at the (University of Pennsylvania). Our books are distributed in shops internationally including Commune (Tokyo), Bungee Space (NYC), and Actual Source (Provo, UT). pharmacy-books.com

RECENTLY
I’m in the process of announcing my new publishing project, Pharmacy Books. I am kicking it off with a book of my own called Placeholders which you can find through pharmacy-books.com. Pharmacy Books is also working on new titles with Nomka Enkhee, Xi Li, Claire Hungerford, and Max Gavrich.
I recently designed the Fall 2024 poster series for the Parsons Communication Design Lectures.
This October I am giving a talk and leading a workshop for the undergraduate student-run design club at Yale University.
I am currently working with Mark Owens on an artist catalog for Amanda Ross-Ho through the Vleeshal Center for Contemporary Art.
