Statement

As a designer, I am interested in combining the concept of motion within dance and graphic design. Growing up as a breakdancer has helped me see motion in everything. I’m interested in exploring and visualizing this concept as a process of making work. I’ve experimented with the documentation of motion through photography as well as how specific choreography and movements can be translated into graphic layouts and structures.
