The Garden started as a concept between myself and friends, Ken Barrist and Jen Jordan. Entering our junior year at Syracuse University, we wanted to create a safe and inclusive space for live music to exist post-pandemic. In the summer of 2021, we got to work and created a DIY venue in our basement. Between 2021 and 2023, we successfully put on 18 house shows, were featured in on-campus publications, and gained a loyal following. 

Throughout this project I served as a Co-Founder, Creative Director, and Social Media Manager. I designed original merchandise and unique posters for every show, and worked to establish our online and physical brand. Below are a collection of posters I created during our venture.
