Is social anxiety something we control, or does it control us? In that tension lies, the core of 'QuoCalm,' a campaign inspired by the friendly nature of quokkas to help others navigate social anxiety. Having social anxiety all my life, this very personal topic fuelled my passion for creating design solutions that resonate with those facing similar struggles. 'QuoCalm' combines a board game, cards, a website, posters, and stickers—all designed to foster self-awareness and connection in social spaces. I leverage various design mediums, including web design, identity, print, and make digital experiences, to fulfil this passion of creating impactful, relatable, and meaningful interactions.
