In 2020, I undertook a 100 Days Project on instagram. I designed 100 infographics that displayed information about herbs and spices and their growing, culinary and healing uses. We’ve been using plants for food and medicine for millennia and while it could be a complex endeavor, the intention of this project was very simple, it is to help us all become more connected to our food and extend this connection to our overall health. We are what we eat and we should think about little ways we can “let food be thy medicine.” I think intentionally growing and consuming herbs and spices with their helpful properties in mind is a small way to do that.

This project was developed out of an interest in seeing this information presented together in an accessible format in hopes of strengthening our lost connection with plants, food and our past. I also used this opportunity to develop my own icon set or graphic language. I share more about this in detail in this blog post here.
