My first published art work came out earlier this month in the Data Science by Design (DSxD) anthology titled “Our Environment.”

The zine is titled- Fire Zine: Ecosystems and Human Scales. I collaborated with Jackie Dean, an Alaskan Fire Scientist on a short fire zine examining the differences between Alaskan and California ecosystems, as well as looking at fire from a human scale up to the ecosystem scale. We really had to compress our ideas into the 5 pages, but I think we came up with some cool visuals. I assembled everything and did the layouts of the information. I had a great time working on this project from concept to physical publication.

You can order a printed version of the DSxD Anthology here. Or if you want to check out the individual sections that are released slowly over time, you can see them on the DSxD blog here.
