HOW AN INSTA POST TOOK OVER THE WORLD:
︎Pantone declares ‘Living Coral’ as their 2019 Colour of the Year.
︎I release an Instagram post calling out their tone deaf actions and lack of corporate responsibility.
︎The story spreads through over 30 countries worldwide, in publications like Vogue and Dezeen.

︎Bleached Coral permeates culture— from fashion, design, art, architecture, beauty, and beyond.
︎It even becomes a wedding trend.
