What is the source of identity building? My research and scholarship has lead me into investigations of gender identity, ethnic identity, national identity and racial identity. It is the study about the construction and destruction of a person-role playing, breaking stereotypes and rebuilding the self through the understanding history, sociology, biology and the self. The study of identity manifests in my professional work as I design identity systems for regional, national and international events, organizations and magazines. The identity design systems I have built over the years have variations of the following projects: logos, posters, brochures, newsletters, and booklets. My strengths lie in my history of accomplishments: as an educator, designer, and artist, and as a global person, with a balanced yet critical understanding of the complex world of humanity, who professes her understanding through multiple mediums with a strong sense of history while embracing the newness of the world. My evolving understanding of this world through the eyes of being an artist and designer is the strength I give my students.
