THE PROCESS
Design
As an Indigenous artist, my design process is deeply rooted in my cultural heritage, personal experiences, and artistic vision. My creative journey begins with a sketch on paper, a tangible medium that allows me to freely express initial ideas and concepts. This traditional method not only connects to the physical act of creation but also serves as a foundation for the creative process.
Once I have captured my initial concept on paper, I utilize modern tools like apps such as Procreate and Photoshop to refine and finalize my artwork. These digital platforms offer you a range of possibilities to bring your designs to life, providing you with a versatile and dynamic canvas to experiment with colors, textures, and various digital tools.
Incorporating technology into my creative process allows me to explore new dimensions and possibilities. It enables me to experiment, iterate, and make changes easily, facilitating the evolution of your designs. Whether I'm creating artworks for print or beadwork pieces, the digital realm offers flexibility and precision in realizing artistic vision.

In conclusion, as an Indigenous artist, my design process is a harmonious blend of traditional and modern techniques. Beginning with a sketch on paper, I utilize digital tools such as Procreate and Photoshop to refine and finalize my artwork. These digital platforms offer you the freedom to experiment, the ability to easily make changes, and the opportunity to explore new artistic dimensions. Rooted in my cultural heritage, personal experiences, and artistic vision, my designs reflect the deep connection I have with my Indigenous culture, the natural world, and the stories I wish to convey.
