The first set of illustrations (four total) was designed for the Guardian US' DIY abortion in American series. I wanted to capture modern women in Victorian silhouettes, a form that I felt preserved anonymity, while providing a sense of dignity to each figure. The silhouettes were hand hand cut and deconstructed to echo the reporting themes and then photographed. 
• "‘Please, I am out of options’: inside the murky world of DIY abortions"
• "Jailed for ending a pregnancy: how prosecutors get inventive on abortion"
• "Abortion rights are already under siege – and it's only going to get worse"
• Unpublished silhouette

The second set of illustrations (three total) was designed for the Guardian US' continuing Homan Square coverage that details allegations of abuse inside a secretive facility operated by the Chicago police department. The complex layering was chosen to illustrate the dark, intricate system designed to disappear and hide detainees at the facility. 
• "'I was struck with multiple blows': inside the secret violence of Homan Square"
• "A death in police custody: what really happened at Chicago's Homan Square?"
• "The hidden: how Chicago police kept thousands isolated at Homan Square"

This checkered mosaic of women was designed to lead CNN's "They're not celebrities. Their voice coach isn't either. But #MeToo changed their lives." I chose to focus the portrait (built out of many portraits) on the mouth. It represents both the voice actors' profession and their voice in the #MeToo movement.

The "infinity needle" illustration was designed to lead Jason Cherkis' Putlizer-Prize-finalist and Ellie-nominated "Dying To Be Free: There’s A Treatment For Heroin Addiction That Actually Works.Why Aren’t We Using It?" for The Huffington Post. The design symbolizes the cyclical fight against addiction. 

The final illustration is unpublished, but was originally designed for The Huffington Post's ongoing investigation of No Limit rapper McKinley Mac Phipps' manslaughter conviction.
