Yesterday I received a WhatsApp message from Reia.
I didn't realize till a few hours later that Reia's Senior Project had won a mention at the IDA Design Awards. And it wasn't till earlier today that I realized that she had won a Gold. It was a big deal and I was super excited.
I read her entry description. And then re-read it. And then re-re-read it. It was extremely well written. And seemed to come from the heart.
“If life gives you Melons, you might be Dyslexic”. Growing up I never understood why reading, something that seemed so simple was so challenging for me. 06897 is a collection about my journey with Dyslexia. I dive deep into the past, using report cards, old tests and books I read growing up as prints. Orange, a combination of red (A color I saw repeatedly on report cards) and yellow (A color that represents joy) is the key color of this collection, tying it all together.

Reia has managed to take her limitations head-on and embrace it. And that's a great attitude to have. All of us couldn't be more proud of Reia. Fo her Gold. For her writing. And above all for her Amazing Attitude.
CONGRATS REIA !
