Personal Copy, the MFA thesis at the Yale School of Art, develops alternative instruments that reproduce and reorganize repetitive labor through processes of automation and autonomy, while preserving the agency and judgment of the designer. It also attempts to restore empathy for the conditions of design labor.
Design practice is approached as an activity that entails subjectivity, interpretation, intervention, and adaptation—qualities that constitute a foundation of visual culture. The project emphasizes the personal and situated nature of utterance, treating it as active and responsive data.
Within design environments structured by systems of hierarchy and control, Personal Copy involves the collection, archiving, and presentation of data sets, approaching technology and machines as collaborators. Automation is understood not only as a mechanism of efficiency but as a strategic device to transform repetitive tasks and expand the possibilities of designerly intervention. In this context, graphic design reveals how personal narrative can unfold into public discourse.
