How making informs my design practice

  • Hand-stitching delicate embroidery fosters patience and precision, pushing me to value meticulous attention to detail in user flows.

  • Experimenting with acrylics and watercolors sharpens my understanding of color theory and harmony, enabling me to create interfaces that are both visually engaging and emotionally resonant.

  • Dabbling in digital illustration sharpens my compositional awareness, ensuring each interface has a balanced and intuitive layout.

  • Creative coding in p5.js encourages me to embrace exploration and experimentation, leading to more playful, interactive UX solutions.

  • Working with clay in pottery fosters adaptability as shapes can shift unexpectedly, prompting me to remain flexible and open to rapid iteration in my design process.

  • Merging these diverse artistic experiences nurtures a holistic mindset, allowing me to blend aesthetics, functionality, and empathy into every design.
