I can thank my father for my green thumb.

I’ve always loved plants and houseplants. And I’m proud to say that I’ve killed (maybe) five in my life. But my friends, mother, and sister cannot say the same thing.

I was tasked with creating, researching and designing an infographic for one of my graphic design classes, so, feeling inspired by my friend’s dead succulent, I decided to create an infographic on houseplants that are hard to kill.

I actually created this while I was at a journalism conference in Washington, D.C. After a long day of attending seminars, I came back to the hotel room and got to illustrating.

Plant illustrations were done on Adobe Illustrator, icons were done on Procreate, and the entire graphic was designed on Adobe InDesign.
