Becoming Change
Change is a deeply personal and intentional process—one that begins within and unfolds through daily decisions. Rooted in lived experience, my work reflects on lessons I’ve learned over the past three years while navigating emotional healing, faith, mental health, and identity. Through this journey, I have come to understand that transformation does not happen suddenly or perfectly but through small, often uncomfortable choices that gradually reshape the way we see ourselves, our past, and our future.
This project exists because I believe design holds responsibility. Many people live carrying internal battles, navigating anxiety, fear, brokenness, and unresolved pain without the language or tools to process them. This work seeks to create space for reflection, offering guidance through personal insight, psychological understanding, and spiritual grounding.
As a method, this work embraces the philosophy of wabi-sabi, using imperfection and restraint as a language of healing. The design mirrors the content: brokenness held with care, beauty emerging through process, and meaning formed over time.
Change is universal. Most everyone, at some point, must confront who they are, what they carry, and what they are willing to release. By merging psychology, spirituality, and design, Becoming Change demonstrates how visual communication can become a vessel for healing, self-examination, and transformation. Design has the power to slow us down, invite us inward, and help us see what we may have overlooked.
