LIVES
MATTER

As designers committed to decolonizing our practices, we feel that it is important for us to help amplify Black voices that have historically been underrepresented within our discipline. We are using this site as a public platform in support of Black Lives Matter within our communities and beyond. We ask that you take some time alongside looking at our work, to explore these collected resources.

Emotional Architecture

Emotional Architecture explores the mapping of emotional functions and its impact on executive processes. Humans are born with primal emotional instincts; however, our more complex daily emotional experiences are amalgamations of our past. This body of work explores the theory that emotions are not pre-programmed, but rather that our brains are the masters behind their creations.

About the designer

Hi! My name is Justine Fisher, I am an avid freelancer with a broad design background. Majoring in graphic design has given me the wide range of skills and flexibility to work across several design disciplines. Throughout my studies, I have worked in many roles such as an illustrator, product photographer, and brand designer. I have been working as the lead designer at Coloring Broadway since its launch in 2017, and I recently became a graphic designer for The Khollected Studio. I look forward to seeing what the future holds as I begin my new chapter post-OCADU!
