Colourful poster designs on black backgrounds featuring neon green plant, bright yellow bee, pink flower and blue figure with Chinese and English text about protecting biodiversity

She strongly believes visual communication design through different kinds of media can help solve problems and change the world. And here's her own recent contribution to that very effort.

Eight Ways to Protect Biodiversity is a series of poster designs crafted to raise the awareness of conserving biodiversity. Her suggestions, which appear in both English and Chinese, include: 'Help the Bees', 'Protect Nature', 'Plant a Plant', 'Support Farms', 'Conserve Water', 'Recycle and Reuse', 'Take a Walk' and 'Visit Botanical Gardens'.
