ZeroTox was featured in the March 2024 issue of Bounty Hunters, one of the UK’s most prominent design publications known for highlighting cutting-edge innovation and sustainability. The feature recognized ZeroTox for its bold approach to environmental health, emphasizing how thoughtful design can raise awareness about toxic exposure and inspire cleaner, safer living.

I was interviewed by Visual Art Journal about ZeroTox, my project exploring design’s role in environmental health and toxic-free living. As part of this recognition, ZeroTox will be featured on a billboard in Times Square, New York, in July 2025—reaching over 450,000 people and spotlighting the power of design to drive awareness and change.
