Carnivale in Venezia

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="491" caption="I love Carnivale costumes! The paniers on this dress are insane. This way, if I ever feel fat, bloated and like my hips are too big, I'll just think about what these women went through every day in these things!"][/caption]

Design Won’t Save the World

Here it is! My first stop motion video made in Motion Graphics at NESAD. Special thanks to my creative partner in crime Josh Peters, we picked a design concept based on a quote and developed a stop motion video, shooting with a Canon T1i. Design won't save the world, but it sure can make it pretty:) Enjoy. [vimeo]http://vimeo.com/22040168[/vimeo]

Body Language

Body Language is a collaborative exhibit designed by my Environmental Graphic Design Class. We only used white paper, foam core, and light. This is my Idea With Legs.

Electric Electrolux

I found a beautiful blue 1950's Electrolux vacuum cleaner sitting on the curb in West Cambridge, took it home, took out the motor and made it in to this lamp. It hangs over my favorite reading chair, in between my 1950's Barbie prints.
