The Garden started as a concept between myself, Ken Barrist, and Jen Jordan. Entering our junior year at Syracuse University, the three of us wanted to create a safe and inclusive space for live music. In the summer of 2021, we got to work and created a DIY venue in our basement. Between 2021 and 2023, us and our trusted staff successfully put on 18 house shows, were featured in on-campus publications, and gained a loyal following. 

For The Garden I served as a Co-Founder, Creative Director, and Social Media Manager. I designed unique posters for every show, as well as original merchandise, and worked to establish our online and physical brand. Below are a collection of posters I created since the beginning of our venture.
