Summer Abroad 2026: Helsinki, Finland

For my summer abroad in Helsinki, Finland, we were given four walking tours around the city.

Above is my collection of observations and design from those four tours, placed into spreads for a book.

Each student on the trip also created their own spreads, giving us a full book of Helsinki through the eyes of students.

:)

My spread of Helsinki color palettes (4 pictures of a clock, fountain statues, a building with yellow awnings, and various wall textures) won The 79th Annual Ewing Gallery Dille Award for Best Graphic Design 2026.

Below are scans of all the things I sketched or collected on the trip.

This page is still a work in progress, for I hope to curate a story with the order of such scans or created a GIF quickly scrolling through each scan. Sorry for the inconvenience.
