Design and art direction for Groundcycle’s Seedlin: The Flower Issue. 

A 24-page zine with half pages interspersed throughout to mimic the layered, shifting nature of petals. The issue features member-submitted recipes, an NYC florist directory, interviews with local florists and more.  Printed at Lucky Risograph with soy-based ink and sewed with bio-degradable cotton thread, this zine was designed to be fully compostable!
