The basis of BLAIR
A lens of curiosity and bewilderment envelopes my perception of reality, as I carry an eagerness to shape the world around me. A child-like trait serving as a gentle reminder that there are many things still to learn, as well as a reflection of the time that has passed. Still practicing the peaceful activities of drawing and creating, realizing with greater intent than in my adolescence. Further, acknowledging my thanks to my parents who provided the chance for me to be introduced to computer programs at an early age, unbeknownst the value this would offer me in the future to produce ideas. In forethought, generating the question: how can I create a valuable impression through my craft and influence?
Storytelling is the essence of crafting and reaching people across time, whether it be through structure, picture, or word. Due to this, I aspire to take advantage of as many tools as possible, by expressing stories through various methods of creation and creative direction. Therefore I approach architecture, graphic design, and other fields of creative practice, with the same principle within many stories, resolving a problem. Also offering a story through my work; which can seed reflection for those that discover it. Overall, my urge to attain a diverse array of techniques to work in multiple platforms, is so I can reach a wider collection of thinkers. Thus, I can be gratified in the moment of euphoria someone experiences, when their perspective is expanded upon finding something new to their knowledge.
In conclusion, clinging on to a piece of that babyish brain has subtly guided me along this path in which I find purpose. This peculiar manner of thought also drives my craving to hold a unique position of value, especially in elation for the future. Although exactly what role I play in regard to the future is unknown, I bear immense potential and am determined to make an impact. Nevertheless, I recognize that this goal cannot be achieved without the valuable connections that have and are to be made along the way. So as multifaceted lessons in life continue to pile, I will continue to expand my repertoire and stay grounded in my foundation.
