Not On Us is a large-format poster that challenges the notion that environmental responsibility rests primarily with individual consumers. Borrowing the visual language of public service announcements and propaganda, the work repeats the familiar phrase “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” in English, Chinese, and Russian, reframing a globally recognized message through the lens of corporate accountability.

Supported by environmental statistics and research, the poster questions narratives that emphasize personal guilt while minimizing the influence of industrial production and global supply chains. Rather than dismissing individual action, Not On Us argues that meaningful environmental change requires accountability from the institutions capable of producing it at scale.

Tariffs is a large-format poster examining the rhetoric surrounding unilateral tariffs and the unintended consequences of economic nationalism. Drawing on the visual language of wartime propaganda and anti-Asian imagery, the work critiques how political messaging can redirect public frustration toward manufactured external threats while obscuring the complex global systems that drive production, trade, and the migration of skilled labor.

 

By appropriating familiar propagandistic aesthetics, the poster explores the relationship between economic policy, xenophobia, and public perception. Rather than advocating a partisan position, Tariffs investigates how graphic design has historically been used to simplify nuanced political issues into emotionally persuasive narratives, inviting viewers to question both the message and the medium through which it is delivered.
