HOLIDAY HANGOUT

OCAD Artist Alley is a student-lead artist collective dedicated to uplifting marginalized emerging artist-entrepreneurs through bi-annual creative markets, grassroots initiatives, and small business learning programs. It is one of OCAD University's most recognized student groups, with press from BlogTo and Toronto Star. I was the collective's Illustrator and Graphic Designer, eventually becoming organization Lead from 2023-2025.

​

OCAD Artist Alley's Holiday Hangout was a workshop and social event to celebrate the holiday season within the OCADU community, funded by the RBC's Centre for Emerging Artists and Designers (CEAD). As the event planner and facilitator, I I took on the role of illustrating the promotional poster. I made use of monochromatic blues, folk-inspired framing, and hand-written type to match the hangout's intimate and homey atmosphere.
