Visual Communication Design
Below the Surface transforms ocean safety into connection. Inspired by my love for the ocean, the app blends live data, colour-coded maps, and community input to help new divers explore confidently. Through research, design, and photography, I created a system that turns safety into storytelling, promoting awareness, belonging, and care for the ocean environment._x000d_
