Pratt Textile Dye Garden
From 2021-2022, I worked as a Graduate Research Assistant at Pratt's Textile Dye Garden. The Textile Dye Garden is an ongoing project located at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. The garden serves as a resource for sustainability education and a hub for collaboration and experimentation.
As Graduate Research Assistant, I helped plan and coordinate educational events on site, designed and maintained the garden's website, created flyers for social media, and artwork to be used for events. In addition, I designed our print and digital swatch book which serves as a resource for students to learn about the garden's plants and their ranges of color.
Below are some examples of my work at the Textile Dye Garden.
