How I Design
Artful objects of utility surround us in our every day lives, whether it's at home or work, these items often reflect our taste and attitudes that describe us as individuals. As a designer, I look at solving problems through a list of criteria, based first on how an object functions. The sculpture portion of a design will often support the function, but it is poetic simplicity that makes a design appealing. I consider a hierarchy of elements, as to not over design, but express a dominant design element supported by smaller subordinate details. I thoroughly go over a piece many times to refine the harmony of details in order to achieve simplicity.
I travel to broaden my awareness to bring a more progressive fashion and function to my work that is not just limited to my daily environment. I like to combine materials and processes of the 21st century that may mix and relate with traditional materials. While I design a variety of objects, the chair is considered one of the most difficult of expressions to achieve. A paramount design must offer a fresh personality that is supported by the performance of comfort and function based on the product application.
