This is a snippet of my Visually Mag feature - check out the original article here.

Thrilled to share my contribution to Visually newsletter and magazine, started by fellow UXR and writer; Kaltuma Mohamed. This beautiful, creative magazine focuses on art + design + research. I explore how my passion for poetry and the power of storytelling strengthens critical skills like writing and influence in the research practice. There's an established norm to create rigid boundaries between work + creative play, but there’s nothing I love more than 'challenging the status quo.' I believe the creative and playful process mirrors innovation and progress, and it should be awkward, uncomfortable and a healthy tension, that's where transformation and growth reside. You never know, it may look rebellious until people realize it was worth it. Enjoy.

Discover the captivating world of human emotions and resilience in "Wildflowers: A Lifetime of Longing." In this debut poetry collection, I take you on a journey through the intricate maze of self-love, romantic love, and the strength that resides within us. Dive into the heart of adaptability with "California Poppy," explore the complexities of love in "Red Camellias," and reflect on your own experiences and growth with "Purple Ice Plants." These poems are sure to resonate with readers of all ages. Don't miss out – order your copy today and let these beautiful verses stay with you long after you've finished reading.
