migraine art

Six months ago, I came off my bike, and ended up with a concussion and vestibular migraines. Since then, working as I used to hasn’t really been an option. Before the accident, I was a designer working in lighting artworks, using generative tools to create drawings. Now, I’ve taken those same tools and techniques and started making prints instead.

This project came about as a way to keep creative and making things while I recovering. I design everything in 3D software and then plot the drawings with a pen plotter—so it’s still all generative, just in a different format. Whether this is a temporary detour or a whole new direction, I’m not sure yet.

But for now, this is what I’m making, and I’m excited to share it.

What Are Vestibular Migraines?

Vestibular migraines are a type of migraine that affect balance, coordination, and vision—basically, they make the world feel like it’s moving when it shouldn’t be. Symptoms can include dizziness, vertigo, brain fog, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. Unlike regular migraines, they don’t always come with a headache, which can make them tricky to diagnose.

If you’re dealing with vestibular migraines, you’re not alone. It can be frustrating and unpredictable, but there are things that help—managing triggers, pacing yourself, and making adjustments to daily life. I’ll be sharing some of what’s helped me, so if that’s something you’re interested in, keep an eye out.
