Castro Icons


Digital  •  Spring 2023

I designed a set of three icons celebrating the Castro district's iconic LGBTQ+ heritage. Drawing from the neighborhood's evolution from a working-class area to a pioneering LGBTQ+ cultural center, each icon tells a unique story: Harvey Milk's groundbreaking activism, the subtle language of Gay Semiotics, and the famous Rainbow Road. The icons rest on a pink triangle backdrop, creating a cohesive visual narrative that honors both the community's struggles and triumphs.

Through careful research and peer collaboration, I transformed these meaningful historical elements into clean, impactful designs that capture the Castro's enduring spirit of pride and resilience.
