Designed the 2026 t-shirt for USC’s Multicultural Assistance Peer Program (MAPP) through the Center for Student Engagement — a program built around fostering community, cultural connection, and belonging on campus. The design needed to capture that spirit in a way that felt genuinely fun and wearable, that played on trends and encapsulated the essence of the program!

The concept came together around a custom-illustrated retro globe character — friendly, expressive, and full of personality — framed like a postage stamp to nod to crossing borders and building community around the world. The stamp format gave the design a vintage, collectible feel, while the illustrated mascot brought warmth and approachability that perfectly matched MAPP’s mission. Every detail, from the USC cap to the garnet sneakers, was hand-illustrated and built to feel cohesive across the full Congaree colorway.
