Welcome to my Personal Website
Thank you for visiting my personal website. My name is Don Orkoskey and I am a photographer, designer, and teacher. I am also neurodivergent, which means that my brain functions and processes information differently compared to neurotypical individuals. In this blog post, I would like to share with you how my disability has shaped my life and the work that I do.
Embracing Neurodivergence
Being neurodivergent has been both a challenge and a gift in my life. While it comes with its own set of difficulties, it has also allowed me to see the world from a unique perspective. This unique perspective has greatly influenced my work as a photographer and designer.
Neurodivergence has given me the ability to think outside the box and approach my creative projects in unconventional ways. I often find inspiration in unexpected places and my work reflects this unique viewpoint. I believe that my neurodivergence has allowed me to bring a fresh and innovative approach to my photography and design projects.
The Power of Visual Communication
As a photographer and designer, I am passionate about the power of visual communication. I believe that images and design have the ability to convey emotions, tell stories, and create connections. My neurodivergence has played a significant role in my understanding and utilization of visual communication.
Through my photography, I strive to capture the essence of a moment or a subject. I aim to create images that evoke emotions and spark a connection with the viewer. My neurodivergent perspective allows me to see details and patterns that others may overlook, resulting in unique and captivating photographs.
In my design work, I focus on creating visually appealing and functional designs. I believe that good design should not only be aesthetically pleasing but also serve a purpose. My neurodivergent thinking allows me to approach design problems from different angles and come up with innovative solutions.
Teaching and Advocacy
Aside from my photography and design work, I am also passionate about teaching and advocacy. I believe in the power of education and the importance of raising awareness about neurodivergence.
As a teacher, I strive to create an inclusive learning environment where all students, regardless of their neurodivergent or neurotypical status, can thrive. I aim to provide support and accommodations to ensure that all students have equal opportunities to succeed.
Through advocacy, I hope to challenge stereotypes and promote understanding and acceptance of neurodivergent individuals. I believe that by sharing my own experiences and showcasing my work, I can contribute to a more inclusive and accepting society.
Conclusion
Being neurodivergent has shaped my life and the work that I do in profound ways. It has allowed me to bring a unique perspective to my photography, design, teaching, and advocacy efforts. I am grateful for the opportunities that my neurodivergence has provided me and I am committed to using my skills and experiences to make a positive impact in the world.
