Ode to the USPS

2020

The aggressive dismantling of the USPS by Trump appointed Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, (who replaced Megan Brennan, the first female to hold the highest position in the USPS), was a wake up call to many about the importance of the USPS in the daily lives of Americans–for some, it is their main source of receiving much needed medications, correspondence, bill payment, and more. As a life long pen pal and a tireless fan of the USPS uniforms and aesthetics, this collection stands as a love letter to Americas most popular public service: the postal service.
