Senior Thesis Project

Over the course of my senior year, I interviewed dozens of creatives across five different creative fields from Trinidad and Tobago—music, dance, theatre, art, and fashion. Their stories were documented and designed into a comprehensive 148-page graphic design magazine using Adobe InDesign.

The project culminated in both a professionally printed publication and an immersive exhibition featuring a Trinidad and Tobago-shaped table, a 10-foot wooden book sculpture, and a wall of portraits celebrating our nation's creative soul.
