I was part of a 4-5 person, volunteer, editorial team involved with administration and magazine and article layout. We also worked extensively with a team of translators, artists, and an accessibility consultant.
The watermarked samples provided here are a few of the articles I took "charge" on, though I cannot take full credit, as all editors had a hand in design, layout, and editing of articles.
4.25"x5.5", 16pg workbook/zine, was designed to be printed, cut, and stapled at home using two sheets of letter-sized paper, double-sided. It includes 2 pages about the Lovers card, 4 journal prompts, and 11 pages for you to scribble your thoughts into directly.
Game notebook
I make free, take-home-and-play TTRPG kits to distribute to Little Free Libraries around town. Each kit includes a set of dice, an indie game, an adventure or dungeon, and one of these blank, game notebooks.
The notebook includes a cover, table of contents, and most importantly, blank hex and isometric grids. A player or gamemaster can doodle their wilderness adventure, create an outerspace sector, or plan a dastardly dungeon.

CREATIVE WRITING
It's Like This, Not That zine
Issue #1 (2009): A collection of diary entries from 2007, interspersed with photocopies of actual notes from my first psychiatrist at campus mental health services. These are my thoughts as I worked, for the first time, with a therapist (shaky but encouraging) and with a psychiatrist (empowering and kind), laid out side-by-side with my psychiatrist's concurrent notes on my affect, behavior, and sessions. Two print runs, each with different cover art. Assembled and distributed by me.
Issue #2 (2012): A collection of poetry, flash fiction, and pen/sharpie drawings, to share how I experience different symptoms of major depression (and anxiety, as I came to learn later), while I struggled with turning 25 years old. One print run with two covers. Cover 1: Hand-printed self-portrait on Japanese rice paper. Cover 2: Copy of same self-portrait printed on thrifted women's spiritual self-help book page.

Villains Records - bios for various Villains' artists including Beta Lion, Joe St. Thomas, Sullen Ray - 2014-2015
Excerpt: Beta Lion describe themselves as the “itsy bitsy rock band that could,” but their sound is anything but itsy bitsy. Their noticeable camaraderie brings an energetic presence onto the stage, with poppy guitar and keyboard, dreamy vocals, and technical drumming. They practice hard and play hard, owing in part to how comfortable they feel around each other, and it definitely shows in their live performance.
