MA Art and Design<\/h3>\n

I am a visual designer passionate about exploring emotional experiences in everyday life. My project, “While Waiting,” is a visual toolkit that uses playful icons and interactive cards to help users identify and regulate emotions during moments of waiting. I believe design can gently transform ordinary experiences into opportunities for self-reflection and emotional well-being.<\/p>\n
