The Portland Scrapbook

Documenting my vibrant and eventful first year in Portland.

This handmade scrapbook reflects on my experience moving to a new city on my own to pursue my next chapter of life in a place that felt like home before I had even arrived. The practice of collecting little artifacts from my memories to preserve them alongside photos of my experiences over the years has been a great way to celebrate my courage and achievement in making this new place my home. Meticulously selected patterned papers and stickers also elevate my life in it’s full vibrancy and have been a testament to my understanding of color, balance, and hierarchy.
