  • Rehab Bud

  • Pizza Kittyz

    Brand guidelines for Pizza Kittyz, a pet-friendly pizza shop with the intention of making their clients purr with joy. This brand was born thanks to B.F.A. Design student Luis Angeles' little sister, who scribbled a logo onto a cardboard box as they were playing pizza shop.

  • Seismic Dance Event Poster Series

    Seismic Dance Event Poster Series is a project by undergraduate student, Gabriela Rivera. The series depicts headliners of the Seismic Dance Event: Fat Boy Slim, Jamie XX, and Shiba San. Traditional screen printing techniques were used in the design lab to achieve the final pieces.

  • Shifting Winds

    Every researcher had mentors who helped assimilate them into a life of scholarly work, and the process continues with their future mentees. These comprise the roots and branches of the academic tree of a single researcher. If we let these ancestors’ and descendants’ genders affect these trees like a “wind,” most curl nearly to the earth. To set these trees growing upright again we visualize giving differential weight to male and female researchers.

  • Lattice: 2025 Design M.F.A. Exhibition

    Lattice weaves together the thesis works of eight graduating M.F.A. candidates in Design, each probing the fragile connections between people, cultures, and environments. The projects sustain overlooked histories, reclaim informal spaces, challenge extrovert-centered norms, and imagine new ways of belonging. They navigate discomfort in air travel, explore trust in AI, and reframe human relationships with more-than-human worlds. Through cultural memory, speculative futures, and everyday artifacts, the exhibition reveals design as a latticework of resilience, critique, and care. 

  • Entangled Intelligences

    Premiering at Fusebox Festival, Entangled Intelligences invited visitors to experience a unique exhibition that challenges anthropocentric thinking and embraces the diverse forms of intelligence found in the natural world. Featuring works by the Ecocentric Future Lab directed by Design Professor Jiabao Li and other renowned artists.

  • Cig Harvey: Blue Violet

    Blue Violet is a book of deeply personal and lush photographs, drawings, and writing by Cig Harvey. It was a labor of joy for Design Professor Jeanette Abbink to interweave Harvey's lush, color-saturated photography with a motley of textual forms on French-fold style pages bound within the moody printed cloth hardcover.

  • The Fem Press: Her Story in Design and Media

    The Fem Press: Her Story in Design and Media by Avery Fox is an educational zine and interactive database project addressing gender inequity in the publication design industry, inspired by historical feminist publications. The zine, riso printed with a letterpress cover, aims to showcase and uplift the work of female creators across the industry.

  • MyKid-netic

    This project includes a semester long research journey of surveillance tools, child care techniques, for parents to protect and micro-manage their kids. The name "MyKid-netic" is essentially a play on words by combining the phrase "my kid" with the word "cybernetic."

  • Once a Glacier

    Once a Glacier is a VR film that tells the story of a relationship between a girl and a glacier. As the girl grows older, the existence of the ice is threatened, and the viewer is taken on a journey through her seemingly futile efforts to protect what was once an entire glacier. 

     

  • As We Rise

    Designed by Jeanette Abbink, As We Rise is a revelatory exploration of Black identity with more than a hundred works by Black artists from Canada, the Caribbean, Great Britain, the United States, South America, and the African continent.
