Experimentation and problem-solving have always been cornerstones of my work. Although I enjoy experimentation and embedding inspirations from patterns in nature, I believe the ability to translate nitty-gritty information into enjoyable, intuitive solutions is the key to bringing visions into tangible reality. Design is the best conduit for initiating connection, whether through information or shared interests.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"btl-project\">\n      <h1 class=\"btl-project-title\">As:Be<\/h1>\n      <p class=\"btl-project-statement\">As:Be is a makeshift bedroom desk setup that explores the details and ramifications of growing up with undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder (ASD), particularly high-functioning autism, and those who fall within the gray area. This project focuses on print media and papercraft to explore the theme of mimicry\u2014the necessary effort to appear \u201cnormal\u201d\u2014attempting to hide the often-lacking social and behavioral autonomy that most non-autistic individuals take for granted. Many individuals spent most of their lives undiagnosed because the matter is highly stigmatized to this day through stereotypes and other cultural taboos. There is a cruel irony in not appearing \u201cdeficient\u201d enough to qualify for help or avoiding possible life- changing treatment in fear of judgment. Through analogies, anecdotes, and abridged psychiatric research, I hope to provide a nuanced understanding of ASD in an approachable manner.<br>\n<br>The title \u201cAs:Be\u201d is a play on the colloquial term for Asperger\u2019s, which is now an outdated term for high-functioning autism. On the surface level, the name itself means to \u201cbe as you are,\u201d as ASD is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition. Acceptance can have a profound impact, not just for diagnoses, but as a compassionate acknowledgment of human complexity. A bedroom desk is not only a serene, private space but also a key repository that reflects our human identity.\n<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n<footer class=\"btl-footer\">\n    <div class=\"btl-footer-col\">\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-site\">BETWEEN THE LINES<\/p>\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-muted\">USFCA Design &#038; Fine Arts<\/p>\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-muted\">Class of 2026<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"btl-footer-col\">\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-heading\">Design<\/p>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/usfcadesign\/\">Instagram<\/a>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/usfca.design\">Past Exhibitions<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"btl-footer-col\">\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-heading\">Fine Arts<\/p>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/usfcafinearts\/\">Instagram<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"btl-footer-col\">\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-heading\">Information<\/p>\n      <a href=\"\/2026\/information\">Information<\/a>\n      <a href=\"\/2026\/exhibition\">Exhibition<\/a>\n      <a href=\"\/2026\/directory\">Directory<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/footer>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exhibition Information Directory Ethan Chow Pronouns: he\/him Major: Design echowdsign.com I am a graphic designer with a passion for product, digital, and UI\/UX design.
