Sketching & Drawing

Project Paragraph

This project is an installation based on and designed for the corner studio, displaying and visualizing creativity and the play between mechanical and organic elements. When picking out potential sites, we wanted to fill up the corner studio with more lively and creative energy, since the new work space was feeling quite empty and dull. Combining Cole Krivak's abstract and geometric design, with Lalita Bellach's interest in organic and floral shapes and patterns, the final mural design incorporated the best of both worlds and created a creativity-filled side profile with visualizing creative thoughts and process. The installation is made up of laser cut wood, then painted with acrylic.


Growth Paragraph

I think over the course of open innovation, I was able to expand on my communication and collaboration with my group members, and other students in the nuvu community. Another part of my growth was creating a more finalized piece with a lot of physical fabrication, and designing. Sketching and incorporating user feedback also really helped our brainstorming and our overall process, and combining different conceptual elements to then lead us to have a more finalized and thought-out piece.
