A WEALTH OF STORIES

This publication is a collection of stories, original content, imagery, illustrations and historic ephemera about the Woodbridge neighborhood in Detroit. It celebrates the wonderful, eccentric people and homes, capturing the spirit of the area through vernacular typography, hand drawn illustrations and historic context. I worked as designer, illustrator, editor and contributing author on this publication.

I am currently in talks with Woodbridge Neighborhood Development to publish this book at a larger scale.
