Verse & Voice: Women Singers and the Art of Lyricism is my Rutgers-Newark BFA capstone project dedicated to the visibility of femme voices through lyrical expression. It pulls back the layers in music, examining narratives within this art form and shedding light on industry gender disparities.

Selected spreads from the lyric book explore how typography, imagery, and lyric fragments construct layered narratives.

Language Layers
The 2024 Rutgers-Newark Graphic Design Senior capstone exhibition explores language, its layers, and its complexities. The exhibition examines intersections where perception, perspective, and power converge, revealing critical layers that inform, disinform, empower and/or disempower.

A personal response
I created an original song reflecting my relationship to lyricism, narrative, and emotion. While the project centers femme voices, this piece acts as a response, exploring how storytelling through music can be shaped, interpreted, and carried across perspectives.

Why?
Music shapes how I understand emotion, identity, and storytelling. This project explores lyricism as authorship, examining how women use it to assert presence, vulnerability, and control within a male-dominated industry.
