Design offers a means to unite elements of different scales in a transformative and unique way. This became second nature to me– always experimenting with spatial manipulation, form and function. I am captivated by, not only the final product that design brings to life, but the process itself.
My objective is to better my understanding of all aspects of the design industry for both professional and personal goals. In the future, I hope to gain further practical experience working alongside professionals in my field.

BEFORE
In search of personal independence as a young adult, she fled her home in New Brunswick and changed her identity to ‘Franklin Thompson,’ living undercover as a man. When the Civil War broke out, Sarah, clandestinely known by her peers as ‘Franklin’, moved to the United States and became a Union agent under General George McClellan’s intelligence network (AUTHOR 2002 page 31).

Anyways, Big Mouth found a way to demonstrate the difficulty of not just hormones and what to do when your body changes; it also demonstrated what to do when your mind changes. When you start to think a lot, and not necessarily the best thoughts. The show’s writers were able to take such a challenging and serious subject and transformed it into a fresh, educative and empowering one.

In the end, Big Mouth found a way to demonstrate not only the the difficulties of hormones, and what to do when your body changes; but also how to cope when your mind changes. These life lessons can really help when you start to overthink things in a harmful way. I loved how the show’s writers took such a challenging, serious subject and transformed it into a fresh, educational, and empowering story.

Food Writing
BEFORE
If you have not yet discovered fatteh, you will be in love I tell you. Fatteh is a Levantine dish that consists of toasted pita squares that are covered with warm chickpeas and drenched with a luscious garlic-tahini-yogurt sauce. Fatteh is eaten with sides of fresh vegetables and pickles. The word fatteh in Arabic means "crumbs," and it is a well-known dish on the weekends morning across Syria. Whenever I prepare this plate, I like to varnish it with pine nuts and almonds.

Personal Writing
BEFORE
I remember being this age (13) myself going into my first depressive episode. I was so embarrassed about who I was and wouldn't assume that eventually, I lost control and started realizing that I was becoming some I couldn't relate to or didn't like even. Someone that even my friends and family would recognize because I shut them off.

I remember when I was 13, going into my first depressive episode. I was so embarrassed about who I was and lost control for a while. Eventually, I realized that I was becoming someone I couldn't relate to, and didn't even like. Someone that even my friends and family wouldn’t recognize because I had completely shut them out.
