ASE POSTER
Annual Student Exhibition 2026
Poster Submission
A poster designed for the UMD student exhibition. I was one of
five selected designers out of 30+ submissions to create a poster.
It ranked 3rd for the final poster selection chosen by UMD Art & Design faculty.
The theme for the show was based around the ampersand (&). The mark is a statement of connection and continuation. It represents how art and design thrive not in isolation, but in collaboration. This theme celebrates what happens when ideas meet—when we build on one another, expand beyond “either/or,” and keep saying “yes, and.” It’s a reminder that our creative story is never finished; it keeps unfolding, together.
