This portfolio is a compilation of my works I completed during the 2018 spring semester in Parsons School of Design, all of which support my definite comprehension and execution of the course outcomes. Consisting of three design works, my portfolio explores the new techniques I have learned as a graduate student designer. Over the course of 4 months, the professionalism and effectiveness of my design developed into that of a graduate student. Transitioning from non-designer to professional designer level is a challenge that is ongoing as a student expands there knowledge of designing tactics, designs on different topics and themes, and reflects on their design consistently. Studying in Parsons is the perfect opportunity to begin such a transition smoothly and create a sturdy foundation for the design experience I will build on throughout my career.

Project 1: STOP CLIMATE CHANGE (Media Advocacy)
Since there are few maps in the city of New York, this poster is set everywhere instead of a map. This map represents sea level rise when the temperature rises 2 degrees celsius, and the pedestrian can visually understand that the current position can be submerged in the future.
Target Audiences
Pedestrians in New York City
Location
Ads on bus stop, wifi-kiosk, and anywhere in New York City
Goal
Pedestrians understand the impact of sea level rise.
