For my senior design capstone, I wanted to help incoming Stanford freshmen feel a sense of belonging during their transition to college. To address this problem, I created Notes from the Farm, a book of 50 stories from Stanford upperclassmen on finding their way. In a team of four, I led the design and creative direction for the book's layout and marketing materials.
We ended up printing and shipping 1,500 copies to incoming freshmen and were featured on the Stanford Daily, Stanford Report, Stanford Instagram, and Alumni Magazine.

• The Solution
Notes from the Farm is a physical book consisting of 50 essays from upperclassmen.
Unfiltered Student Voice: A for students, by students approach. At this moment, nothing as comprehensive and authentic as our book exists.
Early timing: Mail in June when students are in an info-vacuum, before they get hit with welcome materials and new student orientation.
Scalability: We can get this into the hands of every student through digital and physical copies, unlike other high-effort programs.
