Where it all began

The Community & Connection Pocket Tarot started as a part of the AIGA DC SHINE Mentorship Program. I was a mentee eager to combine my love of print design and tarot. To build a sense of community between other artists and designers with D.C. natives, community leaders, and D.C. transplants all while highlighting the lesser-known community spaces or pieces of history that aren’t talked about enough right in Washington, D.C. This project was born out of a desire to educate others about tarot and to honor the exceptional craftsmanship of our artists and illustrators. Their contributions are the heart and soul of this project, and I can’t thank them enough for their dedication and talent.
