I led a qualitative study and designed a substance use harm-reduction practice approach and intervention for peer support providers on Early Psychosis teams in Texas. This research led to the development of this toolkit, a 6 hour training delivered twice to peer providers + a 1.5 hour training delivered to teams across the state.

I co-founded a literary magazine created as a space to celebrate women artists. We conducted outreach for submissions and conducted interviews.
 
I created the branding, layout and design for the magazine including the website, print and digital publications, merch and marketing. This is an example of my earlier work which built the foundation for my design skill, passion and perspective.
