Everyday Carry explores my relationship with organization and workflow through handbags. This project challenges conventional notions of order by highlighting the dissonance between external perceptions and internal experiences. Clear vinyl windows in front of fabric-printed bag contents create a trompe l'oeil effect of seeing into a highly disorganized bag, even when empty. The bag contents, including items like silver cutlery and office supplies, amplify this deceptive clutter. The project contemplates how appearances can often misalign with internal realities.

The "Desk Job Tote" is fully lined and features a 15" laptop holder and an exterior pocket on the inner side of the bag making it ideal for phones.
The "Foodie Purse" is fully lined with a magnetic snap closure for the flap and multi-compartment inner pockets.
