I’m Jerome, a designer & independent researcher who has worked with cultural, corporate, and non-proft clients on visual identities, publications, art direction, and digital design projects. Most recently I was the art director for the company that makes the software that I DJ with. I’ve also held roles as design director and brand manager at non-profts that galvanize youth civic engagement, advocate for marginalized voices in NYC, and lead clinical guidelines for COVID-19. I hold an MFA in graphic design from Yale University.

As, Not For: Dethroning Our Absolutes



As, Not For: Dethroning Our Absolutes is a touring exhibition curated that surveys a century of work by African-American graphic designers. First exhibited at the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2017, the show went on to appear at RISD, MCAD, UIC, Boston University, VCU, among other institutions through 2023. The exhibition was curated and installed in collaboration with students from each host university, who helped research, design, and mount every iteration. It was also accompanied by a public lecture and a zine-making workshop, developed in collaboration with Joshua Gamma and Emilia Duno. For Harris, inviting students and the general public to both view and engage with the work directly was vital to the exhibition’s mission and vision.
