TBD is a personal anthology comprised of a wide range of found and saved resources: quotes, art, words, reflections, journal entries, reminders, photos, and anything meaningful that I’ve kept archived over the years. The book is a visual and emotional exploration of creativity through the lens of neurodivergence and delves into the highs and lows encountered throughout the creative process. Developed as my Parsons thesis project, my goal was to develop something that could support the struggles in navigating the intersectionality of creativity and neurodivergence. However, I quickly found myself facing the same problems I sought to solve. This, ironically, led me to a process of creation that actually did address my goal, just in a different format than I planned for. In fact, going through this process taught me that creativity thrives less on rigid plans and more on authenticity, honesty, and the willingness to fail. In other words, think less and do more.

The title TBD, originally shorthand for “To Be Determined,” began as a placeholder for a file of unresolved ideas. As the project evolved, it came to represent Thinking, Being, and Doing — three states that structure the book and reflect different phases of the creative mindset. Though rooted in my personal experiences, TBD speaks to a broader, shared rhythm — one defined by cycles of doubt, pause, and progress — offering a reminder that creativity is not linear, but the act of creating, even amidst self-doubt, has the power to transform.
