Hello! As I mention in my introduction, I enjoy knitting and sewing clothes from scratch, and I'm quite proud of a few of these projects. This page serves as something of a personal portfolio for anyone who might be interested. I have also been comissioned for logo designs for a few outreach initiatives, which you can find near the bottom of this page (or you can click here).
I have also contributed to the annual tradition of releasing a prank paper on April Fool's Day. My 2026 prank paper can be found here.
This sweater was a gift for my aunt, the biggest Moby Dick fan I know. The pattern is "Melville" by Sarabeth Hall.
This is probably my favorite project I've made. The moment I saw the Hue Shift Afghan, I knew that 1) I needed to make it and 2) I wanted to wear it. Figuring out how to make it into a jacket was a fun challenge, and after ~10 months of work, we arrived at the Technicolor Dreamcoat!
This project was a gift for my PhD advisor, Mike Crenshaw, on the day of my defense. It is a self-drafted design based on the aesthetic of tarot cards that reflects my appreciation for all the time and effort he put into my graduate career.
I always loved the look of a matching blazer with shorts, and I thought the pattern of the fabric was really fun!
This sweater takes a lot of inspiration from the really cool knitwear made by independent designer gmmrs . I love the 80s vibe to it, and this was the first project to incorporate intentional shaping to the shoulders (rather than leaving them as rectangles that I sew together). I also learned a lot about how challenging it is to make a neck hole that is snug, but still allows me to easily get my head through. Overall, this project was a lot of fun!
Although I learned to knit as a kid, for a long time I wasn't particularly inspired to make anything. I would typically knit to give my hands something to do, and then at the end of the year I'd donate the completed single-color scarves to a local charity. But in 2020, when I saw photos of this cardigan worn by Harry Styles at a performance, I immediately knew that I wanted to make it.
It was definitely intimidating to jump from simple scarves to a multicolor patchwork sweater, but fortunately there were tutorials on Youtube from other knitters embarking on the same journey. Overall, it was so much fun to make and a huge learning experience.
The Knit Summer Shirt
Although most of my knitting projects beforehand had been freehanded squares stitched together, I absolutely love the Yolanda Shirt from Cosmaudi and thought it'd be a great project to try and follow instructions for. I think it turned out pretty nice!
The Cubic Vest
I think in the end, this was mostly a lesson in construction and color theory. I was inspired by vintage sweater vests that had a neat cubic design, and thought a brightly colored version could be interesting. The vest generally turned out how I envisioned, but the reality is that the colors I chose and the way they fit together don't really work stylistically. So this is something I don't wear very frequently at all, but it was great practice for a project like the Technicolor Dreamcoat above.
Logo Designs
I designed this logo for the Georgia Outreach Team for Space (GOT Space), an outreach initiative which I helped lead for a few years while at GSU.
I designed this logo for the launch of Astro on Tap Atlanta, which is a satellite of the broader Astro on Tap initiative. It depicts the iconic view of Atlanta from the Jackson Street Bridge.
I created this logo for "AsTropaLooza: The Astronomy of ATL Showcase," which was a 4-day outreach event hosted by GOT Space and GSU that held astronomy-based talks and events for hundreds of K-12 students in the Atlanta area.
