Start with the Clothes is a research project examining the impact of courtroom attire on women and genderqueer trial lawyers in the US. Inspired by studies on sexism in the legal profession, it combines oral histories, material culture analysis, and legal research. The project explores how clothing norms in courtrooms affect these lawyers' experiences and invites public contributions to its archive.

Professor J. Amy Dillard and Julea Seliavski invited me to create an organized and accessible website and branding to showcase their research. It was crucial that the design embraced various navigation systems including a menu and an indexed version of the site with tags and images. The project continues to grow and invites critical thinking and active participation.
