BETTER YOUR...

How well do you know yourself?

OVERVIEW

​This is the question I studied when creating a 500-page book of self-exploration. It explores 4 topics: time, language, body, and soul. These were aspects of myself I was working to improve.
 
This passion project became an unexpected learning experience where I learned about myself, my ancestry, and those whom I interviewed for their self-exploration. I am proud to share this small part of me with you.

ILLUSTRATION

DIDDLY DOODLES

As an artist, being able to include these small sketches as my illustration was liberating. It was a place of humor and safety that allowed for these drawings to be so effortless. Here is a reminder to you that not all your art needs to be perfect to be called YOUR ART!

I PROMISE I AM ACTUALLY AN ARTIST
DESIGN

SILLINESS IN STRUCTURE

As the exclusive author and designer, I was fully in charge of book design, typographic structure as well as illustrations and content.
​
This unrestricted creative freedom gave form to itself in a classic black-and-white format. The seriousness of color and structure was softened by organic illustrations and jabs of humor within the writing. 
​
The book itself explores aspects of myself I was working to improve:  time, language, body, and soul. It was a visual diary that was shared and displayed to all who opened it.

WAIT FOR IT....

RECOGNITION

GALLERY READY

"Better Your..." became my contribution to the exhibition “From the Second Floor” (Spring 2023). 
​
It was displayed alongside many other designers who also attempted this 500-page book challenge of self-exploration.
