Kaleidoscope!

I was the Creative Director for Kaleidoscope, a curated anthology that showcases the collective identity of Toronto Metropolitan University’s Faculty of Communication and Design (FCAD). The inaugural print publication featured over 60 works (from podcasts to 3D printed sculptures), as well as interviews with a student from each of the nine schools.

As Creative Director of the initiative’s first year, I orchestrated Kaleidoscope’s creative conception and production as part of a group of founding managers. Together, we oversaw and worked with a team of 30 student journalists, designers, and marketers to bring the book to life.
