New York Times
Editorial Illustration

I worked with Damien Saatdjian for The New York Times on this illustration for an article titled ‘The Key to Success in College Is So Simple, It’s Almost Never Mentioned.’ The image features a floating brain, engrossed in a book, with an oversized pencil in hand and sparks flying off both. I wanted to represent the simplicity and power of active engagement and curiosity—the article’s central message that showing up and putting in the effort can spark incredible growth and success in college.
