Art Dojo: (2024–2025)

Location: Bookstore Gallery – Nelson St.
Role: Installation Designer & Curator

As the 1st artist residency it transformed the conference room into an immersive, interactive space. Working with Nigel Davis, K. Medulla handpicked artwork, helped produce a paper chandelier, and brought in studio materials to create a lived-in, artist-inspired environment.  She designed print and digital content for Art Dojo. The residency explored self-reflection, love, heartbreak, feminism, pro-Black identity, and spirituality, with private tours giving patrons deeper insight. The project launched Couch Potato, a podcast connecting artists, entrepreneurs, and advocates. The opening featured art prints and hemp teas; the closing included partnerships with Soul Theory and Ape Water to music vibes by DJ Kiya Lacey, signature cocktails, a QR code scavenger hunt by Eanaj Janae, and a panel discussion.
