Installation



Installative design
2023
 A small community installation to encourage healthy habits amongst college students at Boston University. The Installation was placed in common spaces like study and dorm lounges. Attached to the posters are notes and complementary stickers that are packaged to look like candies. Each note is a different tip and reminder for checking-in on your mental and physical well-being.
