charm: voices of baltimore youth

CHARM uplifts young voices through writing and publishing, giving Baltimore students the platform to become authors and storytellers. With CHARM, we’ve created large-scale installation work and student literary magazines that showcase real youth creativity with professional care.

These are the pieces we created to help their voices be seen and heard...

School Literary Magazines

Editorial Design · School Collaborations

In collaboration with Henderson-Hopkins and Baltimore Montessori Public Charter School, we designed student literary magazines featuring original writing and artwork. From cover design to page layout, each publication was treated like a professional release, giving young authors something they could hold and feel proud of.

Impact Installation

CHARM: Voices of Baltimore Youth — 10 Year Celebration

We created a three-panel, large-scale impact installation for CHARM’s 10-year celebration — over seven feet tall and eleven feet wide when assembled. The timeline walked viewers through a decade of youth voices, combining photography, quotes, and visual storytelling.
