Design Thesis
You will hurt. You will heal.
We tend to view vulnerability as a fragile, timid state. This is a misconception. Vulnerability is not weakness, it is strength, embracing vulnerability can have a positive influence on our health and help us view our lives with a greater degree of clarity. Like so much of life, it is a choice. Do we embrace it and if so, how? I am no stranger to the dark side. As a designer and photographer, I am especially interested in excavating the deep-seated emotions that animate subjects like color, architecture, and the environment. We are moved by the experiences of others in the same way that we are moved by an image. Whatever the platform, I manipulate the elements of design—color, form, space, typography, and imagery—to amplify my subject from the inside-out.
