about [short version]
bachelors of visual communications degree, 15 years of experience as a graphic designer, ux and ui design certificate holder, been dabbling in mixed media art for about three years [slowly finding my style], daydreamer and deep thinker, direct and honest communicator, obsessive music fan, believes pets and trees are people and the ocean has a soul
about my process [the long version]
never been one to follow a path or do something just because everyone is doing it / because that’s ‘just how it’s always been done.’ good ideas deserve visuals that lead, not follow.
i’m driven by curiosity, followed by communication, research, and clarity. sometimes i ask questions.
in my opinion, design isn’t just an exciting or “eye catching” graphic, logo, or branding. design is a tool for meaning, optimal functionality, and a new way to see or experience anything.
good design make you think, makes you feel, breaks rules, isn’t afraid to be weird and go outside the lines a little, and often leads to more ideas.
my strategy is where chaos and clarity meet. i call this controlled chaos—or where order meets experimentation.
being autistic and adhd might have something to do with this strategy. i didn’t know about this for the longest time but i always felt a bit different from my peers and colleagues, so i hid it and tried to blend in most of the time.
turns out hiding was not great and didn’t lead to much creativity.
hiding less has brought forth an overwhelming surge of ideas and sometimes i venture into a medium i haven’t done much. i’m pretty scrappy though so i’ll probably figure it out.
everything i make is layered, emotional, doesn’t follow any rules, always has a story, and is a glimpse into my weird little world. i don’t so much wear my heart on my sleeve but rather on the canvas or page or whatever else.
