Negative space. A positive perspective.

As an optimist I always try and look at the positive in everything.
Looking for the silver lining.

I've also come to appreciate ‘negative space’.
It’s curious how even in the absence of light can illuminate profound lessons.

These past 18 months have been quite a test.
A turbulent journey through a sea of uncertainty.
During these moments I could see and feel darkness.
I had doubts and insecurities.
Lacking in energy, my confidence was low.

The light was there.
I realised.
I was still learning.
Still growing.

I wanted to share what it’s taught me.

The importance of negative space.

It can make us take a moment and reassess.
It can help us appreciate more.
It can be a catalyst for change and better things.
It can make us reach out and ask for help.
It can bring people together.
It can take you out of your comfort zone.
It helps you focus on what's important.

In design, negative space helps the design breathe.
Making the main message have impact, for a stronger design.

Just as negative space accentuates the power of design,
it has the same transformative effect on our lives.

Making us more resilient.
Helping to move us forward.
Understanding what matters most.
Boosting our confidence.
