During my time at Christie’s Auction House, I had the opportunity to work on a variety of creative projects including print, photography, and installation design.
Christie’s Auction House was my very first internship as a student. I have some fond memories of my time there and it is the place where I got my first taste of exhibition design.

MARILYN BROCHURE
This poster was created to advertise the sale of the iconic Marilyn prints by Andy Warhol. These individual prints were featured in a series of a 10-lot sale. A unique fold was chosen to showcase the prints in a clever way.
WILLIEM DE KOONING CATALOGUE
This was a special vanity catalogue designed to promote the sale of Untitled XXV, 1977 by Williem de Kooning. The sleeve was printed on a thick Color Plan paper with his signature debossed on the front, and the book includes a large poster inside. The catalogue is a collection of his work and also includes stories from his life.
FIRST OPEN CATALOGUE
The creative task for this catalogue was to design how the art would be photographed. This involved selecting various pieces of art that aesthetically looked good together and created an intriguing composition. The pieces needed to appear elegant and well balanced with one another, yet still breathe some spunk and life into the catalogue.
FUJITA BOOKMARK
These were bookmarks created to advertise works for sale from the Fujita Museum. The bookmarks were shipped to Hong Kong to be placed in several catalogues overseas. Because of this, I was not able to obtain the actual catalogues they had been placed in. The First Open catalogue seen below is a substitute.
DISPLAY FRAMES
These frames were designed for two different sales: The Collection of Chiara and Francesco Carraro and The Golden Age of Baseball. The sales took place at different times. For each set of frames, I chose the works that were going to be displayed in the frames together. Then, the frames were placed in a manner that would highlight the works on view.
