Narrative Through Design

As a UX and product designer with a foundation in visual journalism, I created this piece to explore the intersection of narrative, global leadership, and design. These images of Pope Francis capture some of the most defining and vulnerable moments of his papacy, offering a visual reflection on his influence and humanity. The layout and framing are intentionally human-centered, drawing from both editorial storytelling and UX principles, to create an experience that is clear, resonant, and accessible. This project reflects how my journalistic eye informs my approach to designing thoughtful, user-driven experiences with global perspective.

These images of Pope Francis aim to humanize a public figure often seen only through formal lenses, offering glimpses of his vulnerability, strength, and humanity. I applied UX principles to guide layout, flow, and content hierarchy, ensuring the viewer experiences the story intuitively and meaningfully. This project demonstrates how my journalistic sensibility enhances my UX practice, helping me design experiences that are clear, emotionally grounded, and user-focused.
