This thinkpiece plays on human curiosity and awards curious individuals with a whimsical award. It intersects my interests in graphic and experience design for the 2026 Public Works "Fire Horse" Senior Show at the Public Works Gallery in Chicago, Illinois.

The installation features a 20 x 40 in. poster in print, laser-cut and spray-painted chipboard letters, and stickers that I designed and printed myself.

Skills: Graphic Design, Experience Design, Drawing, Large Format Printing, Sticker-Making, Exhibition Set-Up, Visual Storytelling, Timeline Management, External Communication, Adaptability, Interdisciplinary Collaboration
