Fictional Truths


Master’s Thesis
Publication Design





Role: Author, Graphic Designer
Self Initiated Project

Fictional Truths is a 400-page book I authored, designed, and produced as my MFA thesis in Graphic Design at RISD. Broadly divided into four sections, it argues for storytelling and fiction as a legitimate method for design practice, and includes an interview with Jane Alison, author of Meander, Spiral, Explode. The book also serves as a comprehensive record of my three years at RISD, documenting the full body of work produced during that time.

You can read the complete book here.
