When The CDC presented the opportunity to share personal stories of female cancer survivors in the hopes of educating on women's health, I knew this was a very special project.

Each moment and experience was very real and very different, but also somehow alike. To create a unified message, we began crafting these stories by audio recording their experiences first hand. I wanted the emotion to translate as authentically and personally as possible. So I set off to carefully weave these personal stories and feelings by way of visual metaphors and fluid moments.

Throughout the entire design process, I curated our approach to ensure that the visuals resonated with the stories seamlessly. The incredible challenges, strengths and stories these women have to offer is a testimony to their survival while offering an important message surrounding women's health on an even larger scale. I was so thankful to be the ones to help tell those tales.
