Plant Based

BFA Capstone2025
Biophilia is the term that refers to a human’s innate pull toward nature. It is a quiet, powerful instinct that connects us with the living world and wills us to find life in the spaces we inhabit.

I have spent the last year researching and implementing ways to incorporate biophilia into graphic design. With this capstone project, I created a custom alphabet with each letter being directly inspired by a plant who’s scientific name begins with that letter. To further push graphic design into the biophilic realm, I created a frame by frame animation to show each letter doing a natural and organic movement, much like a plant would. 

I presented my capstone publicly for two weeks in Provo, UT and created a documentation book of my research and implementation journey which you can access below.
