This series of images was discovered through microscopy. I was building a game-play map to document an experiment, my research question—how might we engage more meaningfully with our built environment? ① Though I completed the work in my first year of college, I often find myself going back to microscopy and this question.
I believe this love for exploration via zooming in and out perfectly summarises my approach to my work. Curiosity drives my process, and I am especially drawn to what may be hidden or overlooked. I enjoy slowing down and observing the world around me, taking in subtleties that may be easy to miss. Grounding my work in my current environment is also important to me.
Drawn to details, textures and stories, I strive to layer form, function and context in meaningful ways for user-centered solutions. I am often experimenting with scale, fascinated by the complexity that can arise from systems at varying levels. ② Blending a structured, research-driven approach with wit and playfulness ③, my works exercise empathy, problem-solving and, often, worldbuilding.
My aim is to tell a good, engaging story and build a better, more engaged world.
① Additionally: A wide range of “What is that?”-s, the occasional “Where does this lead?”, and one (1) “What would bird poop look like under a microscope?”
② While pushing my boundaries and experimenting with media, material and magnitudes, I have found some core concepts that anchor my work. This diagram is an attempt to define these and will likely evolve:
storytelling
computation,
math,
physics
③ I ADORE puns and wordplay. If you do too, I’d recommend
