in which graphic design can be used to solve a problem and to
implement a possible solution to demonstrate unique design thinking.

APPROACH }
Hyphen is a program to help newcomers quickly adapt to the local life
in San Francisco. When I first came to the Bay Area three years
ago, I felt extremely unfamiliar with the city where I planned to live and
study. There was a huge difference in culture, so I didn’t feel any sense
of belonging. However, by chance, I attended a local Thanksgiving
event and first felt the warmth of “home” there. Therefore, I decided to
help and welcome more newcomers through hyphen. I hope that
through my project, I can help more visitors who come here to work and
live. However, the target audience is not limited to international
students, but also to people who need to live in the city for a longer time.
