EMBRACING MY ODYSSEY

One of the hardest questions I get asked is, “Where are you from?” This question is difficult, because growing up as a child of two military parents, I have never stayed in one place for long. This constant migration has allowed me the opportunity to experience varying cultures and lifestyles and learn about what makes them unique. While I may not have a singular place to credit my upbringing to, the person and designer that I am today is a combination of all the places and people I have encountered along the way.

ODYSSEY 1

Concept Illustration

Odyssey odyssey

Brave individuals begin their journey, unaware of the oppourtunities and challenges ahead. They must navigate many different paths, feeling empowered by their ability to overcome. Regardless of how the story ends, the protagonist has been vivified from experiences they had.

An odyssey is a long voyage with many changes in fortune. In an odyssey the protagonist is faced with different paths that they must take, there are obstacles along the way that this individual must overcome in order to continue their journey. This uncertainty describes the life of a military child with the places they travel, and the challenges they face with every move. Odyssesy is about taking the adventures that these children have, and turning them into something that makes them unique and builds resillience.

Concept illustration is inspired by a video game map with different biomes, paths, and levels that represents the odyssey that military children will take.
