Infographic titled “Types of Authority.” Four petal-shaped panels surround a central silhouette cluster. Each petal represents a type of leadership power: Direct (gold), Indirect (blue), Inspirational (purple), and Exemplary (green). The dark background and soft radial glow create depth, with clean white typography labeling each type.

Leadership isn’t one style - it’s four kinds of power, working together.

Direct (Title)
Indirect (Network) – trust and reach
Inspirational (Story)
Exemplary (Performance)

Every organization’s rhythm depends on how these blend.

Infographic comparing average sugar content in popular sodas, energy drinks, chocolates, and sweet snacks. Each item is normalized to 100 ml to create a “sugar index” showing which categories deliver the biggest rush or crash. The visuals resemble fizzy drink bubbles and candy tones to evoke sweetness and energy.

I compared average sodas, energy drinks, and chocolates by 100 ml to normalize the sweet impact.

Graphic titled “Coffee with a K: The origin of Coffee.” The design is split into two rounded panels. On the left, under the header “Fact,” text explains that coffee traces back to the Kaffa region of Ethiopia, birthplace of Arabica coffee, and the word coffee may even come from Kaffa. On the right, under the header “Legend,” text tells the story of Kaldi, a goat herder who noticed his goats dancing after eating red berries, tried them himself, felt energized, and thus discovered coffee. Behind the text, an illustration of a steaming coffee cup with coffee beans grounds the design.

A data visualization titled “The American National Anthem: Why, in Los Angeles, it makes sense to sing it in Spanish for the home game.” It shows two main graphics comparing Hispanic/Latino and non-Hispanic populations in L.A. County — nearly a perfect 50/50 split. The text notes that hearing the National Anthem in different languages can resonate differently for different people and mentions that the Spanish version was commissioned by the U.S. government in 1945 under the Roosevelt administration. The color scheme is Dodgers blue and gray, tying the theme to Los Angeles baseball culture.

In L.A., nearly half the county is Hispanic or Latino.
So when someone sings the National Anthem in Spanish before a Dodgers home game—
it’s not “different.”
It’s home. 🇺🇸⚾
