Bloom
This is not a “project” in the sense of something that has a very specific desired outcome.There is no time frame, no restrictions, and no real aim except to loose oneself in the process of creating something. As the name tries to imply, the purpose is to grow (both as a “creative” as well as a person).
BLOOM
My name is Raafia Jessa. I work as a Designer.
My job finds me working on various things such as Design Systems, User Interfaces, Apps, Websites, Branding etc.
But I don’t want that to be the only thing I work on.
Rather, I want to give myself as much time as I give to other people.
A couple of years ago, I drew a couple of flowers as a creative exercise.
Those funny little flowers kept growing and slowly a pattern emerged.
The repetitive creation of that pattern then morphed into a meditative practice.
This is not a “project” in the sense of something that has a very specific desired outcome.
There is no time frame, no restrictions, and no real aim except to loose oneself in the process of creating something.
As the name tries to imply, the goal is to grow — both as a “creative” as well as a person.
The idea is to manually produce the same pattern in various forms in order to learn new skills —
with an emphasis on involving others whenever possible.
Below are some stories of flowers blooming.
I will continue to keep adding stories as I learn new skills / make new things.
When possible, I might sell things that are the outcome of these creative / meditative exercises.
Anything sold will always be very limited, high-quality, one-of-a-kind, probably not be reproduced ever again ;)
If you have a idea / want to collaborate or would like to support this “project without a goal”, please feel free to reach out and maybe we can make something together :)
