I'm using art to improve my emotional vocabulary by connecting emotions with cues like colors, flowers, and sentiments.

I began this journey after taking the MSCEIT test, where I learned that I excel in emotional reasoning but found there was room to grow in understanding more complex emotions.

I aim to better recognize complex emotions by using this visual language more intentionally in my artwork.

This design and visual thinking exercise was inspired by my studies in emotional intelligence and Brené Brown’s "Atlas of the Heart. Based on her research, I developed a bespoke visual language with 13 color palettes representing 87 emotions with 11 unique attributes that visually define each emotion.
