The Bioluminescence “Glow Big or Glow Home” project demonstrates how I think engaging storytelling can change education. Rather than a static report, I created a TED Talk-style video that would engage viewers through narrative arc, sourced visuals, and paced revelations about marine biology. The process required research, storyboarding, audio design, and post-production editing. But what mattered most was asking: how do I make someone care about organisms that glow in the deep ocean? Design becomes meaningful when it transforms passive information into active experience.
