Phare Ponleu Selpak Workshop (2022)  

In May 2022, I travelled to Battambang (Cambodia) to give a poster workshop at the art school Phare Ponleu Selpak. We went out on scooters and bikes and sketched the city.
Later the students used their research to create a Battambang poster which was later printed and exhibited in Battambang.


Tumo Studios Workshop (2022)     

In March 2022, I travelled to Armenia to give a 2 week workshop in Poster making for the students at TUMO Studios.TUMO Studios is a free educational program for university-aged students and young professionals with a passion for craftsmanship and design, located in the center of Yerevan. I gave the students the task of creating a poster of the different districts of Yerevan, each student picked a district to create a poster for. After gathering inspiration, the students transformed their illustrations into screen printed posters, which we printed at the school.



Colours of Cambodia – Bilingual Childrens Book (2016)     

“Colors of Cambodia” is a bilingual childrens book in Cambodian and English. It is published by The Antipodes Collective; an NGO who works for children in rural Cambodia. The sale of the book allows The Antipodes Collective to distribute it for free to underprivileged children in Cambodia. I decided to make the book after my stay in Pursat Province where I saw a lack of relevant bilingual books for Cambodian students wanting to learn English. I remember asking one of the students what her favorite meal was, she promptly answered “hotdogs”. You can’t buy hotdogs in Pursat, but the English she learned was from English books about western life, so the language she learned was foreign to her and her surroundings.
