That's a great question. I spent well over a decade researching crochet as therapy. It was through hearing about a few difficulties from people in that research - specifically how sometimes OCD would create problems with crochet - that I began to be interested in the more complex nuances of how mental health impacts creativity (neither bad nor good, just in what ways). So that helped broaden my research a bit.
Also, I've learned that some people find it really difficult to answer interview questions in words so I started doing visual interviews which has been another shift.

It's interesting—if unnerving—how machines can spot patterns in our words that we might miss ourselves.
