Information Design
A clarity-focused design path for complex information — diagrams, wayfinding, and data communication.
Where this leads
The confusion, addressed honestly
Information Design is rare and valuable when portfolios show clarity under complexity. Show before/after explanations of hard topics. Don't confuse with generic infographic decoration. Research and structure matter more than gradients. Pair with UX or communication design applications. Studio and campus screens still reward ownership stories over tool-logo lists. Bring one artifact — case study, prototype, lookbook page, or critique notes — you can defend in depth.
