Butterfly Metamorphosis
GIFs have the ability to share a lot more information than still images can. In this case, I have created a GIF that investigates the power of transformation to communicate the structure of an idea or system.

Tree Conditions in Commonwealth Ave
The Commonwealth Avenue Mall in Boston, designed in 1856 by Arthur Gillman, is a vital public space in the French boulevard style that spans 32 acres. It serves as a hub for exercise, recreation, and social interaction, connecting Back Bay with the Boston Common. Historically, such promenades were essential for social visibility.
Our project aimed to explore how greenspaces transform communities and foster social activities through data visualization. We mapped social and tree conditions on one block of Commonwealth Avenue, detailing residential areas, roads, and the mall. Tree data included species, trunk diameter, and location, while social data covered space usage.
The design emphasized clarity, using intuitive colors and shapes for easy understanding. Iterative revisions focused on depicting activities and integrating feedback to enhance communication. Inspired by various mapping methodologies, we highlighted the social and environmental significance of the mall, ultimately illustrating the broader impact of urban greenspaces.
