Artist Statement

A JOURNEY OF CREATIVE EVOLUTION AND TRANSFORMATIVE STORYTELLING

My journey as an artist and creator is a lifelong evolution in which I find myself constantly exploring new mediums with which to create, express, and share.

I am an artist. I am a designer. I am a maker. I am a creator. I am a collaborator. I am a storyteller.

Whatever the project, I value diverse methods to address practical design needs in a transformative manner. My path is guided by a commitment to using art for community building, responsible storytelling, and making connections.

Diversity is a cornerstone of my artistic practice. I believe in embracing a multitude of creative methods, to draw inspiration from various disciplines and perspectives. Keeping my channels of input and influence wide open allows me to approach each new design challenge with a fresh, innovative mindset. Whether through traditional mediums or cutting-edge technologies, I seek to push the boundaries of creative exploration, constantly evolving to meet the dynamic needs of the projects I undertake.

I am an innovative collaborator in world-building. I thrive on projects where I can contribute to the whole story in ways that work together harmoniously with the work of other artists to transcend the functional, to become something memorable and emotionally resonant.

In all design projects, there are always practical needs that must be addressed, but this is also an opportunity for transformative storytelling. Central to my philosophy as a designer is meticulous attention to the implications and relevance of every choice. I consider each element within a design or composition for its contribution to the overarching narrative. Every element is carefully considered for the emotions it evokes and the subtext it adds. This intentional approach ensures that my work goes beyond aesthetics and function, resonating with depth and meaning.

As an artist-storyteller, I forge connections between the practical and the poetic, between the stage and the audience, through artistic choices steeped in meaning and relevance. Whatever I am creating, every choice is made with intention and care to respond to the needs of the project and to stimulate discussion, evoke memory and feeling, and leave a lasting impression on the audience/viewer/user.
