Artist Statement
In my design practice, I'm a minimalist at heart. I believe good design communicates effectively with the least amount of information necessary. At the center of my design process—and one of my favorite parts—is extensive research. I begin all design projects the same way: scrolling through articles and webpages I may never otherwise visit, jotting down notes about what initially stands out to me, and endlessly sketching out all my “bad ideas.” Accepting that my first thoughts are my worst thoughts drives me to sketch quickly, sloppily, and prolifically. The thick, permanent lines of a Sharpie are my friend in the early stages, allowing me to quickly judge my ideas without getting bogged down in the details.
