How do you turn 20 years of global research into a book that feels both reflective and alive? That was the challenge in collaborating with Tony Salvador at Intel. Seven Words for Design needed to do more than collect thoughts—it needed to visualize a way of thinking. We built a framework that wove Tony’s fieldwork photography with clean, intentional design, creating space for his insights to breathe while keeping readers engaged across print and digital formats. The final book became a thoughtful artifact—part travel journal, part guidepost for designing better systems, objects, and technologies.

Throughout my role as designer, I collaborated closely with Tony Salvador to translate his reflections into a visual narrative—shaping a layout and rhythm that echoed the book’s spirit of exploration and discovery.
