2023 Colors of Extinction is one of the core thesis projects I worked on. Extinction as a concept formed a personal area of interest before deciding to go to grad school. The idea that something ceases to exist always fascinated and terrified me. Once discovering that we are currently going through an event of mass extinction, caused by humans, it quickly became my focus area of research. 

Colors of Extinction is a collaborative online color archive that documents the process of extinction through species’ proportional color swatches that can be used as a design resource. Each species can be logged and submitted by anyone who accesses the site, followed by verification of submitted information to ensure accuracy.
