Therapy Journal
The journal is a necessary tool in a designer's toolbox where it is used to process thoughts and ideas, problem solve and develop designs. However, after creating highly structured illustrations and designs for other people for so long, I lost touch with my own voice and needs in creativity. It took grief to find it again.
Each piece in this collection reflects a blend of intimate details and expressive techniques, showing how creativity can support resilience and self-discovery during challenging times. My hope is that this work can help others to find healing through their creative expression too.
Let it Go
After losing my parents, solace and healing was achieved through writing into the pain and creating art for myself. I now practice regular journaling as a form of meditation and self expression.
The journal provides a deeply personal space to process life - it's a place of vulnerability. No restrictions. No boundaries. No judgement. This is a visual snippet into my journey of learning a new language: how to speak from my heart and soul, rather than my head. No apologies for unrefined imagery - it's purely experimental, playing in the park (and dark) kind of stuff. Raw and messy and not always pretty! Learning how to stop self-judgement has been one of the hardest things to do.
