Hey future me,

I hope you are happy with your life you are living , I hope you are making your parents proud everyday, I hope all your achievements are achieved , I hope that you have started creating magic in makeup and fashion industry which you always have dreamed of, I hope you are living the life you manifest, I hope everyday you are grateful for everything .I’m sure you’ve got a lot going on right now, and that’s good. Just don’t lose track of what’s important, what’s worth making time for. Life isn’t a sprint, it’s a long race and you’re not in it just to “win.” Be gentle with yourself. Be gentle with your mother earth, take care of your surroundings , use sustainable cloth materials, use vegan makeup products , prefer the brands which does not support animal testing.

Be messy sometimes. Explore as much as you can, don't let your creativity die by other people's opinion Let it all go.

Embrace all of your learnings and cherish your experiences because they truly are divinely fated.

You will have enough time to do everything that you love, so stop stressing so much. You miss the beauty when you are stressed. Be here now. Hug those around you. Ask them how they are doing, and truly listen.

No one lives forever so be sure to cherish every moment.

APPLICATION OF VISUAL TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES

Culture and community gave me the knowledge of text, context and subtext. This helped me in my work during the project way easier as I already had a basic understanding of context in design.
Think lab activities such as slice and dice and stakeholder mapping helped in journey of an object, without these tools i wouldn't be able to my actual projects.
The Essence of colour taught me how colour has an impact on human psychology.
Isometric types really helped me refine my observation and sketching skills which helped me in journey of an object.
