counteragency

2017

a significant collective project-in-progress, counteragency is meant to connect forward-thinking artists and designers with rising communities in kansas city, to work together toward progressive change and social justice.

initially approached by julia cole about the idea and need, i was a co-founding member with julia, alongside jean schmitt, jacob canyon, and hector casanova. i worked with jean and hector to develop a set of values [see “as an organization”] that would guide actions and policies for the group.

i worked alongside jacob canyon to develop a participatory and dynamic visual identity, reliant upon lettering and patterns from collective members that can be combined to illustrate the collaborative nature of the group.
