ABOUT THE PROJECT
Plastic Planet: How Plastic Came to Rule the World by Georgia Amson-Bradshaw explores the rise of plastic from a revolutionary material to a global environmental challenge. The book traces plastic’s history, from its invention and widespread adoption in everyday products to its role in shaping modern life and consumer culture. It reveals how plastic’s durability and versatility made it indispensable in industries like packaging, medicine, and technology, but also how these same qualities have led to a mounting crisis of pollution and waste.
Amson-Bradshaw delves into the environmental and social impacts of plastic pollution, highlighting issues like microplastics contaminating oceans and entering food chains. The book also examines efforts to tackle the plastic problem, including innovations in recycling, alternatives to traditional plastics, and global policy initiatives. With clear, engaging writing, Plastic Planet offers readers a comprehensive understanding of how plastic became so deeply embedded in our world—and why urgent action is needed to manage its legacy sustainably.

WORKS
The biggest challenge was untangling the complexity. Vista had packed years of features into a layout that never evolved. Functionality was buried. Navigation didn’t reflect user behavior. The UI looked patched together — because it was.
Plastic pollution is now found in every environment on Earth, from the deepest oceans to the driest deserts and the most remote ice sheets. Plastic Planet offers readers aged 8 and up a look at plastic through the ages, exploring what it is, how it's made and how we have become so dependent on it in a single-use, disposable world. It highlights the social inequality of plastic pollution and explores how plastic has become a widespread and dangerous pollutant that is inextricably linked to climate change. The book looks ahead to possible solutions to our plastic crisis, from global changes such as changing people's mindsets, to innovations such as compostable plastics, to practical solutions such as recycling and bottle return schemes.

SUMMARY
A Summary of my work
We delivered a full product design system, updated UI patterns, interaction states, and high-fidelity prototypes. Vista’s internal team now works from a shared Figma system that’s scalable, documented, and ready for future growth. The product finally looks as solid as it performs.
