In honor of ZOMA House turning 1, here’s everything I designed for the organization in the past year. 📸: @jjvisionary T-shirt graphic for our one year celebration. Screenprinted by @kuyaprint.co 🧡 Our new retail wall. I painted the backdrop and curated the inventory. Artists are tagged! Shelving installation by @b_tulloch ✨ Photo Booth set design for our one year celebration 🌺 Grazing table for our one year celebration. I created the moodboard and had help from @kemmahz & @jamond2k1 to set the table. Sweet treats by @ajoyo_bakery 🧁 Event decor for our one year celebration. I sourced the references and had help from the entire ZOMA House team to bring this vision to life 💟 Exterior window designs. I was inspired by the illustrations in the windows of the downtown Warby Parker. Installation by @sharpsignco 💛 Community mural from our Housewarming last year. Our first retail wall. Also my first time painting an arch. Peg board installation by @freakwhenseee 🔨 Our brand identity. I wanted the dominant color to be warm and I wanted all the colors together to look like a garden 💐 Custom ZOMA House font. ZOMA House logo variations. Graphic design is my passion!

We’re putting up donation bins out at the start and the end asking for new wool clothing for our unhoused neighbors, who are facing state violence by homelessness in so called “Minneapolis/Saint Paul”. Winter approaches and policies enforced by violent racist and sexist systems, capitalist/class interests and greed have continued because Mayor Frey and Mayor Her have spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer money to bulldoze and sweep encampments instead of providing solutions.. while being stuck to the pockets of outside developers and capitalists, thus furthering gentrification, trauma, and economic disparity, by fueling violent racist capitalism. Let’s organize wool goods and ride bikes together 🧦 where else should we pop up bins? Bring some new wool socks/clothing and/or come out and ride! :) October 18th, 10:30am bike paths and trails, stopping at Sochaki bike jumps for some tea and snacks. 🫖😋 Starting at @sharpsignco on Downling, 8ish miles, chill pace, no drop! Another Sabo Grocery ride this Sunday too! 10am rolling ♥️🛒 Show love and support to all the local mutual aid orgs working year round to provide lifesaving care to our neighbors while the state, elected “leaders”, the system continues to fail them and criminalize them. @unhoused_justice_tc @rising.waters.mutual.aid @ayu_mpls @ayu_stpaul @communityaidnetworkmn @southsideharmreduction @opossum_colectivo @smittenkittenmn @sanctuarysupplydepot Flyer @joloff_joestar #stopthesweeps

The racialized incident from yesterday at the @BlackbirdRevolt studio is shocking to some but is a constant reality and threat for businesses like ours. We are working to ensure the safety of our team while working to keep our community informed at a speed that honors our ongoing work AND rest. Comments will be answered in due time. Thank you for your patience. Correction: Remote 8/17. My bad, y’all. -Terresa, Owner

We had visitors in our studio today. They came into a place we find comfort and threw away all decency. They made inflammatory and racist remarks and felt comfortable doing so on camera. We don’t ask folks to agree with us, we know most don’t. But respect our space. Because the values we uphold apply to every person, even folks who come into our space and disrespect it. Nothing we believe is radical. It’s basic care for humanity. These men are a small part of the reason we do what we do; we live in a racist society. Peace
