  Exploration Contact

I am a visual storyteller fascinated by the things that capture our attention. I seek to explore the concepts that make us think, through experimentation and research.

My practice is motivated by a desire to understand the application of these concepts to create thoughtful experiences and stories.

Semantics of Form
Duration - 2 weeks





The objective of this project was to develop an understanding of physical forms through prototyping and a system of iterative design. The project involved an exploration of clay manipulation using prototype methods as a means to refine and enhance ergonomics. Working on this project got me to think about how best to convey descriptive terms visually. 

Assigned the three characteristics “Soft, Static, and Heavy” my process began with a semantic word map connecting similar words and objects that reflected those characteristics. Some of the words produced were “Anchored, mountainous, Dense, Organic, and form-fitting” with each word branching from one of the three terms. 



This exploration prompted questions like...

“how do you give weight to an object you cannot touch?”
“do certain shapes indicate density better than others?”
“how do our cultural associations influence or definitions?”

Through analyzing the unique ways each user chose to interact with the object, I considered how I could enhance my form for better clarity
