DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Everyone wants good design. The thinking behind good design is what sets brands apart, pushes ideas forward, and challenges the status quo. Before I even put pencil to paper, I like to think ahead. Why does the customer want and need this? Is there a market gap? Is there an innovative solution? Is it functional? Once the WHY questions are answered, the WHAT becomes clear. What could this look like? What materials & trims should it have? What makes it beautiful? Creating something innovative yet timeless is my mission. I give nods to classic shapes, but apply a certain modernism to everything I touch. Above all, my artform is about combining ergonomic silhouettes with purposeful details. I believe this is the future of good design.
