Study settings around DU and if food affects student’s choices
DU students reflect on off-campus living
In this audio slideshow, I photographed and interviewed Logan Meyers, a junior at DU. I put together a mix of pictures and videos of the U House apartment and tried to make the living space look cozy and comfy. I asked Logan questions about how living off campus is different for him from living on campus dorms. He explains how he likes to have his own freedom and privacy to do what he wants. He also likes that he has his own kitchen space because he is an avid cooker. With the videos, I tried to capture the aspect of being able to be able to connect with the DU community as well as be able to have your own space by walking to and from it. I wanted to add’s Logan’s hobbies as well and get as many people as possible into my slideshow.
I also wanted to capture how there is community within off campus housing. I took pictures of welcome doormats, peace and love signs, and even the front desk staff who are always happy and welcoming. I also put in my roomate and Logan’s roomate as well to add that you can also have your own friendships in the apartments, while also having your own room. I also took pictures of decorations such as my desk with my dogs in there as well as Logan’s Murakami picture as well. I also wanted to capture the beauty of living off campus, as this is all from the fourth floor so you have a very nice view of the green trees and Denver skyline.

“Student Baggage” is a photo and audio slideshow about what college students carry with them every day, both physically and emotionally.
The project includes portraits of students with their bags, along with close-up photos of the things inside them.

For my photo gallery I focus on housing and dorm life by capturing residence halls, shared living spaces, and individual rooms to show how students live daily. I highlighted details like decorations, organization, and interactions to reveal relationships and personalities. My favorite photos include my two friends playing guitar, which captures a candid moment, my roommate relaxing on her bed, where lighting and decorations show calmness and individuality, and a calendar image that adds a fun and balance to college life, showing that the student experience go beyond just academics and work.
On the University of Denver Campus, Spring is in Bloom
This photo gallery dives into spring time on campus. The aim was to capture the warmth, joy, and peacefulness of campus as we come out of winter quarter. The trees are growing leaves again, the flowers are in bloom, and the sun is almost always shining. Even on days where students may have exams or other stressful events, our campus provides many places to sit outside and take a deep breath.
