My thesis project explores how introducing culture-specific perspectives in post-secondary design education can aid the visual communication of junior designers in a culturally diverse society. I’m currently making deliverables for a one-day workshop that consists of a workbook, infographic, and visual exercise. Come see the finished product In Real Life!

Visual Essay

In addition to a literature review, I conducted visual research of my own work and evolution as a design student. I found that a lack of exposure to culturally diverse perspectives in design led me to believe the that scope of effective design was very small. With exposure to culturally diverse perspectives, I may have recognized my style much earlier and would have been more open to experimentation.
