Design Forecast

2024 Design on the Edge graphic design exhibition
Middle Georgia State University

This poster is a blend of inspiration drawn from Aaron Marcus's groundbreaking work in computer graphics art from the 1970s — primarily his "Symbolic Constructions" and "Weather Report" series — to evoke thoughtful commentary on the future of graphic design.

Here, I aimed to reflect the evolving nature of design and creative arts in the era of AI. This uncertainty about the future, accompanied by ongoing changing dynamics, doesn't diminish my optimism. I believe that despite the transformations, human creativity and graphic design will continue to flourish.

Navigating the Cosmic Shift: AI in Design Education

2024 Mid-America College Art Association Virtual Conference
Hosted by Auburn University

In this presentation, I make the case for designers and educators to embrace rather than fear the AI revolution. I explored the collaborative possibilities between designers and AI models within both educational and professional contexts, highlighting the potential role it can play in our daily design practices. Instead of fearing the rise of AI, I suggest that designers and educators should be open to embracing it.
