About
In my work, I look to break down ideas to their most basic form and then reconstruct them in new and different ways. I turn to entry points and micro movements to implement small changes into my practice and attempt to recontextualize what surrounds me. Recognizing the importance of sustainable pedagogy within graphic design is essential to my work. My professional practice also involves taking an active stance as a steward and engaging meaningfully with my community.
The future of our planet is at stake and as graphic designers, we need to welcome resources such as education, innovation, and design to empower us to be active agents of change. It is vital to acknowledge the need for an environmentally mindful future and find ways to work responsibly with our craft. Designers should believe they can contribute to meaningful change through their work in both their own practice and profession. Plant Me After Reading aims to define sustainability on a personal level within the framework of accountability, ethics, and growth. Embracing socially responsible design doesn't limit creativity; instead, it entails understanding design as a thoughtful practice that impacts everything and everyone in our environment. While the idea of driving change can be overwhelming, practicing social responsibility doesn't necessarily demand major overhauls. Rather, it can commence with small, manageable entry points. The concept of "Plant Me After Reading" not only symbolizes the intention to leave a positive mark but also serves as a practical example of how sustainable materials and practices can be integrated into design projects. The use of handmade paper and eco-conscious fonts not only reinforces the message of the book but also showcases the possibilities within a more responsible design framework. My commitment to education, innovation, and responsible design is an example of how creativity can be harnessed for the betterment of society and the planet.
