dimensions calendar

Dimensions, the student led architecture publication at the University of Michigan, releases an award winning book at the end of every winter semester. As a part of the Dimensions 38 team, I manage and lead both the Social Media and Design Teams, and this year, the social media team held a “Just the Scraps” event in which we invited students to bring scrap materials and collage whatever they felt like. We then took these collages, scanned them, and collaged them together to create a 2025 Calendar to help raise money for our upcoming publication.
