At the same time, I see elements of Brutalism in my inspiration board. The raw, unpolished aesthetic in some pieces stands in stark contrast to the smooth, refined nature of more traditional design styles. This approach embraces rough edges, high contrast, oversized typography, and chaotic or asymmetric layouts, which add a sense of urgency or disruption. One of my favorite pieces from Week 1—the bikini box—perfectly captures this balance. It's minimal yet unique, and its interactive, unconventional packaging approach stands out. It offers a fresh way to engage with the product, showing that even in minimalism, there’s room for innovation. This piece exemplifies how simplicity can be both striking and functional, adding a layer of surprise and intrigue without overwhelming the viewer.

Together, these influences inform my design sensibility, blending clarity with disruption and order with rawness. The result is a style that’s both compelling and engaging—one that challenges traditional norms while ensuring the message is always clear and accessible.
