CREATIVE DIRECTION • GRAPHIC DESIGN • MOTION DESIGN
At the start of my Professional Internship in January 2022, while working as a Graphic Design Intern on the Safety Communications Team, I identified an opportunity to bridge the gap between physical safety and mental well-being. I believe that Cast Members cannot be truly physically safe if they do not also feel supported mentally and emotionally.
Drawing from my own experience with affirmations and their impact on mental well-being, I independently developed I Am Disney, an ongoing internal program designed to uplift, encourage, and empower Cast Members. Each month, the Safety Communications Team releases a new affirmation inspired by Disney films and parks, using visual storytelling to reinforce positive messaging while remaining aligned with Disney’s brand voice and internal communication standards.
The affirmations are distributed as Cast-exclusive assets, including posters, video conference backgrounds, and phone wallpapers. The program reaches thousands of Cast Members each month and consistently drives high engagement through downloads and interaction on Disney’s internal platforms. I Am Disney reframes safety communication as not only informational, but human-centered, supporting Cast Members both onstage and backstage.
This project reflects my approach to design as a tool for visual storytelling, connection, care, and meaningful impact at scale.

The graphics below include additional affirmations I created following the original Cinderella series. The program launched in June 2022, and since then, over 30 affirmations have been released on the DX Safety Cast Life site.
The graphics below also showcase affirmations created by fellow Cast Members on my team, produced under my creative direction. Each image caption includes credit and portfolio links for the individual designers.
