As an Artist + Designer, I just want to create. Granted, design isn’t always the right platform for artistic expression. But there is still beauty in simplicity, and the ability to put content first. It doesn’t matter if it’s meant to be in a gallery, a part of your wardrobe, or on a pocket size device. The goal will always remain the same. Which is creating meaningful and aesthetically pleasing work that has a direct impact on the individuals it reaches.

 

This has been achieved with thoughtful ideation, efficiency, and humility. Ideating with purpose pushes boundaries and allows creativity to happen organically. Which become design systems and solutions that are constantly evolving. But through it all, remaining humble will make you a better collaborator, student, teacher, and designer.  It helps maintain the drive needed to become successful, while being a constant reminder that I will never be as good as I am tomorrow.
