︎ Impact: So many more people wanted calendars than I anticipated!
I completed a long-standing goal of mine in 2024: designing a calendar! Each month’s design only uses photos taken in San Francisco in that month over the last two years. I only printed 30 calendars this year as gifts, but they were in such high demand that I will be sure to print more to sell next year.
Printed by Friends and Neighbors, a risograph studio in the Inner Richmond neighborhood of San Francisco.

Based in New York City, Third Place Zine explores design, the built environment, and the people who inhabit and curate it.
