I've been working on my designs for a while now, and one of my favorites is this tote bag that I designed with Charlotte Bumgarner. Charlotte is one of my best friends, so when she asked me to collaborate on some merch, I knew it had to be something special. The design was inspired by old book covers—I loved all the ornate lettering and beautiful illustrations on the spines of old books. I took that idea, but instead of using words or pictures to tell a story as they did in those books, I used textured designs and colors to create an image that was as memorable as it was striking. I made it using Photoshop, fresco, and illustrator (and a little ingenuity).
