Kindness Shines Brightest From Within

2023

“Kindness Shines Brightest From Within” is my submission to the Fight for Kindness — a project designed to spread kindness and courtesy in an unexpected and powerful way.

Sponsored by @typecampus featured events and promotional initiatives around the project will be launched on November 13, on the occasion of 2023 World Kindness Day. Below are some of the visual experiments that were explored in the process of making this poster.

Self-initiated project

This self-initiated project allowed me to explore techniques that interest me — including working between digital and physical spaces. The composition, which centers around a 3D sculptural background element, combines experimental typography with photographs of glass marbles to create a cohesive yet somewhat mysterious structure.

I was thrilled to have my work shown alongside all the other wonderful designs in Budapest, Rome, Los Angeles, and Leamington Spa, UK. Ultimately, this project became part of my lecture at Savannah College of Art & Design in 2023 — “Exploring the Unexpected” which focused on the importance of experimentation in one's design practice.
