United 50
2017
Inspired by own hobby of collecting patches and stickers, I wanted to create a design for every state in the USA. The challenge for myself was to make one state design, every day, for 50 straight days. It became apparent to me that a lot of states lack a presence with commemorative designs, which only motivated me further to create this series. Each state has its own character and I wanted to convey that with each individual design. Every step of the way, my goal was to be inclusive for every state and create a sense of belonging.
In turning these into stickers, I wanted people to celebrate where they’ve lived, traveled to, or even hope to visit one day. The most gratifying thing about this project has been people sharing their adventures with my designs and I hope to continue to inspire people through this project and others to come.
