Design is the current underlying all of history, the language through which we communicate complex ideas and connect with each other. Teagan carries this principle throughout their work, blending skill and intelligence with a distinctly human quality. They’re always up for a challenge, and eager to see what’s next.
Born from a deep love for tight-knit community and Toronto's LGBTQ+ scene, PALLAS is a concept for a Queer cocktail bar and speakeasy. Named after the Pallas' cat and imbued with references to queer culture and history, the brand reflects the beauty, complexity, and fullness of existing in community with Queer people, and of being a part of that experience.
CIPHER is a series of cryptographic puzzles folding upon themselves, encased in articles on science, philosophy, art, history, and technology. It is a magazine for code-breakers, puzzle-solvers, and those who read in between the lines. Contained in each article are small clues that, when pieced together, solve to a single word or phrase. CIPHER pushes its design in unique ways from other magazines, adding layers of meaning through layout alone. Not for the casual reader; it rewards those who do double-takes and delve into details. Good luck!
