This personal poster explores the relationship between creative expression and identity.

This personal poster explores the relationship between creative expression and identity. Using Adobe Illustrator’s interface as a foundation, I reimagined its familiar layout by transforming icons, settings, and tabs into reflections of my own life, experiences, and creative layers. The concept stems from the idea that identity is difficult to define through words alone, yet can be expressed through the things we make. Each layer represents a different part of who I am, coming together to form a visual representation of my identity. Rather than attempting to define myself directly, this piece embraces the idea that I may not be able to define who I am, but I can define myself through what I create.

Inner Voice is an experiential design project that explores the weight of our inner critic and the insecurities we often keep hidden from the world. Created as my BFA capstone, the project invites people into a space where they can confront the doubts, fears, and self-perceptions they rarely share with others. Through a physical confessional installation and a series of brochures designed to mimic the voice inside our heads, the experience makes internal struggles tangible. The confessional becomes a space to step inside and feel the pressure of self-criticism, encouraging reflection on how our internal narratives shape the way we see ourselves. By combining environmental design, print, and interactive storytelling, Inner Voice transforms an invisible, deeply personal experience into something shared, tangible, and human.
