Boro Table is a community-centered social media campaign designed to help New Yorkers find food resources during the recent SNAP cuts and shutdown. Through posters, social media posts, and printer-friendly flyers, the project highlights where to access food banks, soup kitchens, community fridges, mutual aid networks, and reliable information. The goal is to make getting help feel normal and judgment-free, the same way neighbors look out for each other in this city.

Research Highlights:
These pages show the first steps of my design process. I always start in my notebook, where I can jot down ideas, gather resources, and map out the structure before moving into digital design.
