This project focuses on techniques contemporary American poets use in their work. Ten different poetry collections are analyzed for dominant writing styles and techniques, which I then apply to my own poems, concentrating on modeling that particular poet. I then reflect on those poems through an evaluation of my writing process, how those techniques were implemented, and how they affected the poem. In addition to these reviews and reflections, I also wrote three articles about the literary community and what I've learned from my interactions in that community. All these materials are organized into a website, which shows the connections between the different writings via links and menus. Creating this website brings all the materials together to demonstrate my growth as a poet, writer, and designer. This heavy focus on poetry and analysis has helped sharpen my critical thinking skills and has better prepared me for a career in design and journalism.

The following is a documentary style film recounting the unique experience of the Freestone family, who moved to a remote part of Arizona in 2004, with eight of their twelve children. The Freestone’s built an Earthship (a home made from recycled materials) and lived there for seven years, with no running water or electricity. This project utilizes interviews with the parents, children, and grandparents to tell the story of living on “The Land.”
