The artist's statement: Throughout my time as a design student, I have discovered that design is everywhere. As humans, we are constantly interacting with design whether we are aware of it or not. Our environments and the things that surround us shape who we are as people. Because of this, I strongly believe that good design can change the world. Throughout my time as a design student, I have found that illustration is where my passion lies. For me, illustration is a way to capture the emotions that surround a specific moment in time. Through intimate perspectives, my illustrations seek to capture a sense of memory, placing the viewer directly in the scene. By combining illustration with typography and design work, I believe we can shift our perspectives and create a new, exciting look at life. I approach my illustration and graphic design in a methodical way, breaking down our environments into simplistic shapes and limited colors. This simplistic aesthetic evokes a feeling of nostalgia. Additionally, the simplicity of my work helps to convey its message in an efficient manner. Through my graphic design work with its focus on illustration, I hope to create exciting design that ultimately makes the world a more lively, engaging place.
