Social Change Graphics

Social & Digital Design, Illustration

Unfortunate situations often aren’t discussed because of their sensitive, deep nature, which forces unhealthy cycles to repeat. I’ve found that what causes closed-mindedness towards taboo topics is the inability to walk in people’s shoes and see their problems from an unbiased perspective.

Challenge

Some concepts are hard to explain or don’t make sense on paper, but somehow a simple illustration, symbol, or design gets the point across perfectly. I created social media graphics for various companies that target unseen worldwide issues. As a result of my efforts, brands including Whole Foods interacted with my posts on social media.
