You Care Too Much

You Care Too Much is a collection of writing and art by women on the question of self-care. Contributors include Tallulah Fontaine, Leah Horlick, Angela Lewis, Winnie Truong, Adina Tarralik Duffy, Mo Handahu, Anabela Piersol, Kathryn Bondy and others.

Since much of the subject matter is hard-hitting, Jen looked to gorgeous photos and bold typography to give the reader respite from feeling so many feelings. The most satisfying part of the project was collaborating with such talented women. Once we created general templates, we worked with a designer to layout each story. There was a lot of back and forth to get each section just right! The first print run sold out, which was a thrill to experience! 

A bonus to working on the book was that I had the chance to create an image series for the book with Vicky Lam and Christina Yan. Check out the entire series here.
