Curating, analyzing, inspiring, designing.

All throughout my high school years, drawing and creating was my emotional "get away". A therapeutic process that conjures the thought process, and puts emotions on paper.

Visual stimulus that makes an audience engage in and observe is my fascination. The Queensland Core Skills test writing task in year twelve is an excellent example. As students, we were provided visual stimulus ranging from various text and typography, to fictional and nonfictional images and photography and were tasked to create a form of writing piece from it. While most of the other kids sat there staring at their blank page with no inspiration from the stimulus, I was already putting emotions, backgrounds and stories in writing.

Now I am being more and more enveloped by the digital creative media side of things. I constantly see amazing concepts, character references, layout designs and creative ideas not only drawn up on paper, but mastered using software programs.

I have been fascinated by architectural and structural 3D creating software, like the auto desk package during my high school years, and I am quickly enhancing my skills in PhotoShop and other Adobe software.

I also enjoy reading young adult novels with some sort of suspense (my favorite so far has to be the Maze Runner series, or The Spooks Apprentice also known as the Seventh Son). And this love of reading has also moved on to researching, and observing the new designs people have engineered in industrial design industry.

I know, I have a wide range of interests, and I love all things creative, and industrial. I have no clue what the future may hold for me, but until then, I wont stop curating, analyzing and creating for myself.
