I am a final year BA (Hons) Graphic Design student with a deep interest in skin diversity and the emotional impact of skin conditions. My project, "Personal Patterns," emerged from my own experiences and observations about how skin issues affect individuals' self-esteem and social interactions. This initiative uses design to transform various skin conditions into unique geometric patterns, turning perceived flaws into artworks. These patterns celebrate individuality and challenge societal beauty norms. My goal is to promote greater acceptance and understanding of skin diversity, fostering a more inclusive environment where everyone can feel valued and beautiful. After graduation, I plan to continue exploring and expanding this project to reach and impact a broader audience.
