2020-2021 BFA thesis statement:

For the betterment of value to innovation, one should emphasize and equate empathetic design to design thinking. The way I will explore this is by mixing emerging & ‘outdated’ technologies, playing with nonlinear narrative structure, semiotics & the perceptible awareness of all six senses in order to expand visual communication.

unscented candles; AR experience
