How to Bean

Step one: draw something a little messy.

Step two: make it into a design anyway.

Step three: probably get distracted by food and end up sketching that too.

My name is Jara Gelfand, but my friends and family call me Bean. I am a student at the University of Michigan studying Art and Design, soaking up everything the school has to offer. My work falls somewhere between art, design, and everyday life - a mix of doodles, graphics, and small details that add a little color to the ordinary.
