Ryan's research figures
In one of his studies, Professor Ryan Daniel proposed that graduate schools and supervisors consider a new approach to training doctoral students. This approach positions creativity education as a key element of the research journey for candidates. To visualise his research findings, Ryan required a figure that informed readers of the key creative education elements he identified in his research. I redesigned Ryan’s initial figure to demonstrate the connection between each hexagon, including the key elements of creative education in the middle hexagon, and the potential benefits in the far right hexagon.
Eileen is exceptional at visualising information, which for researchers is extremely important.

In his book chapter, Reconceptualising Higher Education Programs in Music for a Rapidly Changing Global Creative Industries Sector, Professor Ryan Daniel proposed that the learning and teaching of music in higher education should move towards a new conceptual model. This conceptual model places each student at the centre of the learning environment—surrounded by six areas of personal and professional development. To represent the equal importance of each development area and central importance of the student, I redesigned Ryan's model with a circular composition as displayed below. Gradient colour effects were included in the centre of the model to symbolise how students are capable of engaging with multiple areas of development, and the way these areas overlap during students' learning.
Eileen has an amazing capacity to understand and really see what the researcher intends to communicate.
