    Framework for Authentic Creative Expression in Media Environments

    The Expressive Space Framework is a research-driven model that explores how digital creators can thrive psychologically, creatively, and economically within today’s platform-driven ecosystems. Built on four key pillars—psychological autonomy, creative flow, economic transparency, and emotional/social support—this framework shifts the focus from content performance to creator well-being. By examining how platform design, algorithms, and monetization systems impact creator mental health and authentic expression, the Expressive Space Framework offers critical insights for sustainable digital culture.

    Expression, Ownership, and Responsibility in Digital Ecosystems

    Expression, Ownership, and Responsibility in Digital Ecosystems is a research initiative exploring how creators navigate the complex relationship between personal expression and platform control. This work investigates how algorithms, moderation policies, and monetization tools shape what creators say, how they say it, and who gets to hear it. By focusing on expressive autonomy, digital authorship, and cultural accountability, the project highlights the urgent need for ethical platform design and creator-first governance in online environments.

    Cultural Moderation, Platform Affordances, and Expression Spaces .

    Cultural Moderation, Platform Affordances, and Expression Spaces is a working hypothesis on how digital platforms shape the authenticity of cultural and creative expression. This research examines how moderation policies and algorithmic design—what platforms allow, amplify, or suppress—affect the visibility and integrity of creator content. By framing expression spaces as co-adaptive systems, the project explores how creators and communities respond to shifting platform rules, and how cultural authenticity is constantly renegotiated in response to those changes.
