Music brings people together through emotion, stories and shared experiences. At music events, sound, visuals, lighting and atmosphere all contribute to how people feel. This has helped me understand that creativity goes beyond making something look good; it is also about creating an experience people remember.

What interests me is how many different people contribute to these events. Artists, designers, performers and organisers each bring their own perspective, showing how collaboration can develop an idea in ways one person might not have considered.

In my own practice, I want to think more carefully about the feelings and stories behind my designs, and how each decision supports the overall experience. Music has encouraged me to be more open to other people’s ideas and to create work that gives an audience something to connect with emotionally.
