SIDE-EYE Magazine is a multimodal editorial experiment I created as both a supplemental course companion and a living media laboratory for two courses I designed and teach at BU Wheelock’s Earl Center for Learning and Innovation: Ethical Foundations in Educational Design and Critical Media Literacy. The project transforms academic inquiry into a designed experience that blends research, storytelling, and critical media production.

Produced through MCOarts: Multiplicity in Motion, SIDE-EYE explores what happens when a syllabus becomes a publication and scholarship becomes something to interact with. Through visual narrative, audio, editorial design, and experimental tools—including AI used both as medium and object of critique—the magazine invites readers to engage critically with the systems through which knowledge circulates.

The project reflects my broader interdisciplinary practice at the intersection of research, experience design, and creative strategy, where visual storytelling becomes a method for making complex ideas visible, interrogating media systems, and imagining new possibilities for social transformation.

At once playful and serious, SIDE-EYE is an open invitation to self-interrogate—to weave academic insight and everyday observation into an ongoing conversation about how we live, think, and move through the world today.
