Reflow Magazine

Editorial Illustration, Collab, 2020

Project Overview

During the summer of 2020, I had the opportunity to meet and collaborate with Mia Wignall, a fellow university student from another course. At the time, she was developing her magazine, ReFlow, and seeking various creatives to join her in generating compelling content for the publication. 

After a few Zoom calls to discuss her vision, she took on the role of Art Director while I created a range of illustrations aimed at highlighting brands that claimed to support the Black Lives Matter movement but lacked diversity in their model representation. 

This collaboration was significant for us, as we were deeply engaged in the movement and wanted to use our creativity to make our voices heard.
