The Design Center

The Design Center was created collaboratively by a group of BFA and MFA Graphic Design students working with faculty advisor Michael Worthington in a year-long class called “Designing the Design Center.” We are a peer-to-peer design, tutoring, and collaboration service center at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts).
Toni’s Teezaria
CalArts / 2025
The CalArts T-Shirt Show is an annual event hosted by the Graphic Design program where students, alumni, and faculty sell hand-screened t-shirts and tote bags with original designs. The show is a fundraiser, with proceeds supporting the Graphic Design program, its exhibitions, and supplies.
Through the Pane
CalArts / 2024
Stranger No Danger is a collaborative publication where 10 design students interview a graphic designer, and using the content from the interview, design a print publication.
Positive Gaslighting
CalArts / 2024
Positive Gaslighting is a playful and thought-provoking card game centered around the concept of self-affirmation and positive gaslighting. In this game, players (me) draw cards with exaggeratedly positive or overly encouraging statements meant to be both uplifting and absurd. The goal is to creatively respond to these statements (like blushing or kicking your feet).
