As a creative, I lay foundations to new purposes. My primary purpose is to communicate ideas that encourage discourse and raise awareness & understanding to design.
I have a wide variety of design inspirations and I feel that I am quite the advocate for transformative learning through tactile stimuli.
Discursive design refers to the creation of utilitarian objects whose primary purpose is to communicate ideas; they encourage discourse. I mean this in the most positive way, it encourages children to think on their own. These are my tools for thinking; they help me raise awareness and perhaps understanding of substantive and often debatable issues of psychological, sociological and ideological consequence. I am a creative. I have a strong desire to gain a complete understanding of the Human Centric Design process through creating play scrapes for active learners. I am looking forward to meeting with you in person and sharing my attitudes towards design and some of my influences; ones that have shaped my life and affected my thought process in design.
I design to make a difference.
Received recognition from Zing Toy design company for the outstanding work I did on their product design and asked for the PDF's and Solid Works files for future viewing and possible collaboration.
