An Information Design Class @ Princeton University
My information design attempts to explain a technological energy process known as bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). The core idea is burning trees or other plants for energy while pulling in the resulting carbon dioxide and storing it below ground. Since the plants pull more carbon dioxide from the air, the process results in a net removal …

Starting this project was the hardest thing to do. I am currently developing an autonomous land-surveying robot for my Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering senior project. While designing the chassis of the robot, I came about the challenge of selecting the appropriate steering mechanism. This is the foundation of any moving machine and I did not …
My topic is Bone Regeneration, in this piece of visual explanation informational design I am explaining the scientific process of bone regrowth and regeneration after a break. I wanted the entry point of the piece to be the title (level 1), followed by a subtitle (level 2) in a smaller size and muted color, but …
