Hi there! You're currently on the mobile version of my site, to see some of my work check out the site on a larger device.
I've lived in Portland, Oregon the past few years working for Nike after studying design at The University of Cincinnati, DAAP. I've been existing mostly between Cincinnati, Portland, and Pittsburgh the past couple years. I hope you are healthy and finding ways to make the most of each day while we continue to adapt to living in uncertainty.
I look forward to hearing from you or working with you! Don't hesitate to get in touch, shelby@shelbywauligman.com.
Thanks for taking a look through my site and spending some of your time to get to know me. I hope this platform can give you a glimpse of a few things I think and care about.
The past couple years I've existed mostly between Cincinnati, Portland, and Pittsburgh. Working for Nike, farming/gardening/composting, practicing yoga, and countless other hobbies I mostly umbrella into my 'creative practice' or really just life. I'm proud to have graduated from the DAAP program in design at The University of Cincinnati, my hometown. I hope you are healthy, happy, and finding ways to make the most of each day.
I look forward to hearing from you or working with you! Don't hesitate to get in touch, shelby@shelbywauligman.com.

This exercise was done as a form of active reflection to visual consumption. On media platforms like Instagram it's easy to like or save and continue the endless scroll, but how are these images that had significance to us in some way affecting us? I went through different platforms where I've saved content and found a theme. It could be anything and I think it would be helpful for many people to do this exercise or for even myself to do it again and focus on a completely different subject matter. I was mostly drawn to the original images for one particular item. I began cutting out these garments and putting them together creating outfits. While doing the simple photoshop acts it led me into thought on content ownership and originality. The original creators intent might be totally lost when assembled out of context, but is that actually the intent? If something is changed to a certain degree, when does it become original?
