As an avid trinket-collector and curator of all things, I spend my time thrifting and going to estate sales, mostly rummaging through vintage birthday cards and travel pamphlets – looking for design inspiration everywhere I go. I view my everyday life through the lens of art, filling my shelves with knickknacks and my walls with posters, prints, business cards, clothing tags, candy wrappers – anything that has a design quality that I feel inspired by. Filling my life with other creators’ artwork and music is important to me, and helps motivate me to create new things.
Creative expression is tied to the way I function – it has helped me through abuse, death, mental health crises, and continues to be an important coping mechanism for me in times of struggle. There is hardly a second I am not thinking about making something new, and I feel so lucky to have this skillset that helps me work through my own feelings and connect with others. I think what describes my creative mindset best is the cheesy sentiment I chose as my senior quote in high school:
“What’s bad for your heart is good for your art.”
To this day, when I feel that I’m really struggling, I remind myself of that little silver lining that always exists – at the very least, I’m going to make some kickass art about this.
