Reader: Vania Evangelique
Food: bitter ends food
Design & Planning Support: Lou Ducham

Word of Mouth 🍰 was an experimental event exploring print magazines through food. We explored Cake Zine: Volume 5 through the lens of Pittsburgh’s beloved bitter ends food. Guests arrived at our intimate space with custom place cards, menus, and a copy of Cake Zine at their seats. I created all marketing materials for the event, maintaining consistent visual identity and messaging across print and digital platforms. I hosted the evening with the support of artist Vania Evangelique, who beautifully read the three selected essays from Cake Zine as corresponding desserts were served.

This event was run through Paper + Dirt, a project I co-founded and where I was the creative director and program coordinator from 2023-2024.
