Artist Statement

Design is defined by clarity and purpose. It is deliberate and systematic. It responds to need by offering solutions and communicating with clear intent. It is guided by principles that support both mundane function and conceptual ambition. Design appeals to taste, culture, and desire, appreciated not just for how it performs but for how it reflects personal values.

My work questions this definition of design and challenges the perceived boundary that separates it from fine art. Though not rooted in personal narrative or creative expression, design can occupy a space less resolved than the definition suggests. It is a space that can be emotional, interpretive, and reflective. It can evoke feeling, elicit memory, and draw upon nostalgia. It can challenge perception, offer moments of reflection, and broaden perspective. These qualities, often associated with fine art, are not absent from design, but are expressed through different means and expectations.

I use the structure, language, and tools of graphic design to explore how design might be seen through a different lens, one that expands its definition and aligns it more closely with art. My aim is not to provide solutions, but to create moments that allow for personal interpretation and dialogue. It is a process of reconsidering what form, function, and meaning can be. I invite viewers to see design not only as purpose and artifact, but as an experience of introspective inquiry.
