As a woman with combined ADHD, I wanted to create posters that represent living with this condition. Since being diagnosed, I have conducted extensive research on ADHD, particularly focusing on women, to better understand myself and others with this condition. My research has revealed that experiencing ADHD as a woman is distinct from experiencing it as a man. Men are typically diagnosed in early adolescence, while women are often misdiagnosed with mood disorders or receive their diagnosis later in life. This discrepancy is due to the higher societal pressure on women to mask their symptoms. Men, facing less pressure to conform, are more likely to be diagnosed earlier.

I wanted to highlight this "masking" phenomenon, where women with ADHD feel compelled to present themselves in a way that conceals their true experiences and feelings to fit into societal expectations and manage daily responsibilities. This masking is draining and can lead to anxiety and depression. The posters I envisioned feature women with neutral expressions, symbolizing their attempt to blend in, while their internal experiences with ADHD remain vibrant and complex.

The background of these posters will feature colorful, tangled wires, reflecting the often chaotic and disorganized thought processes associated with ADHD. The bright colors not only represent the positive aspects of ADHD but also evoke the childlike, educational themes associated with the typical age of diagnosis in boys.

Additionally, the posters include various facts about gender differences in ADHD, written in different handwriting styles to represent the diverse stories and symptoms of women with ADHD.

An informational program for an AIGA exhibition for a manifesto renewal. The manifesto was written by graphic designers in 1964, concerned about their skills being misused and used to only promote a consumeristic society, more graphic designers came together and wrote a more current manifesto in 2000.

 This project was a fun experiment with collage and typography. It began with me creating a logo and writing a sentence about my design aspirations. Reflecting on my diverse interests in graphic design, I came up with the phrase "I want to do it all," which is repeated throughout the posters. To create interesting textures, I incorporated various letters from New York City graffiti. The addition of a scorpion led me to think about the Scorpio zodiac sign's persona, inspiring me to collage different street-style photographs to embody that character. While this was a somewhat random project without deep meaning, I thoroughly enjoyed the creative experimentation.

Instagram stories intended to express the importance of breaking the stigma of mental health

On September 1st 2021 a Texas law banning most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, making the state the most restrictive in the nation in terms of access to abortion services

The law does not make exceptions for rape or incest. It does permit abortions for health reasons but exceptions are narrowly drawn.

The Texas law deputizes private citizens to sue anyone who performs an abortion or “aids and abets” a procedure. Plaintiffs who have no connection to the patient or clinic may sue and recover legal fees, as well as $10,000 if they win.

This law is not only appalling to many women, including myself, but also will severely affect countless women’s lives. Everyone women should have the basic right to decide when and whether to have children. Her body, her choice.

These posters are meant to draw awareness to the countless stories on why women may consider or need an abortion, and how it could be ANY woman, and how it should be THEIR choice. Support Women’s choice. Link in bio for organizations fighting for women’s rights in Texas.
