Design for me is creating an environment that provides a positive, memorable and meaningful experience for the user.

Using the same item from my treated drawing of a pineapple, I created some sketches of different forms. I wanted to combine an item that has meaning to me as well as nature and movement.

My final design is in the form of a pineapple. The spiral body symbolises movement and growing from the inside out and the pineapple crown symbolises growth.

I will create memorable and historical experiences through spatial design for the new generation to tell stories about in the future by activating senses within the built environment.

I love the style of simple black and white line drawings. Simple and easy to understand using only the essential details.

I am inspired by the designs created using natural elements and incorporating the design itself within nature.

For my treated drawing I used Adobe Fresco to create an iconographic image of an item that has meaning to me. Pineapple is a fruit that symbolises friendship and hospitality and back in the days people would hang pineapples outside their homes to perfume the entryway as a form of welcoming. It was an edible invitation. I created the first icon with the the silhouette then experimented using detail and finally with colour.

This mood board is influenced by my motives and purpose as a designer. It incorporates elements of nature, movement and engagement.

I created this pictogram of myself using Adobe Fresco which highlights my iconic thick bob haircut. I am known for this haircut and look so I believe this symbol diagram represents me. It is simple yet contains enough detail and it easy to understand. I want my future designs and clients to be able to easily understand my motives and be transparent as a designer.

My self-map is a representation of where I am from, where my heritage of from and where I am now. My background is Laos but I was born and raised in Brisbane, Australia. I added the national flower of Laos to represent my country but also Australian plants to represent my growth as a person on the Australian soil. I also added a map of Brisbane as that is where I spend my everyday life and the place I've learnt, experienced and created memories. My goal as a designer is to promote diversity and create memories. I believe positive memories are an essential part of living a happy life as you have something to think about when the mind is blank.

After completing all the experiments and going through each item, I have learnt a lot about myself personally and professionally. What I view in my personal life reflects on what I want to achieve on a professional level and that is making people happy and comfortable in a space that I designed. I want users to be able to use and experience the space and be able to think back and tell stories to other generations. Stories that will be passed on making people want to experience these spaces themselves. I want to incorporate nature and greenspace as it can mentally heal people and bring them closer to nature. Nature can connect people with themselves as well as other people.
