Closer Zine
Created during the COVID-19 pandemic, Closer was a limited-run collaborative zine exploring connection during a period of isolation and uncertainty.
The project brought together more than 30 artists and designers from around the world, each contributing work inspired by themes of community, resilience, and togetherness. Compiled into a 16-page risograph publication, the zine used bold color and a highly tactile format to create a sense of warmth and optimism during an otherwise disconnected moment.
I led the concept, curation, art direction, and publication design. All proceeds were donated to the United Nations COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund, supporting global pandemic relief efforts.
Closer demonstrated how creative communities can come together around a shared purpose—and how design can foster connection, even from a distance.
