design as adventure
I have long held the idea that the journey of design should be as thrilling as the destination. The process of conception, development and refinement every bit as special as the final arrival to a conjured creation. Let me be your conductor on this journey as we ride it together to an inspiring destination.
From small to large ... design is always a journey with twists, turns, and varying grades of difficulty but as long as the creative engine keeps chugging, fueled with the passion of the designer and the consent of its passengers it is always worth the ride!
Sketchup and rapid prototyping are among my favorite design tools, join the livestream on youtube to see how I work and bring concepts to life.
It begins with a concept ...
collaboration is key
Active listening, participatory engagement, mutual respect are the foundations of a great partnership. There's nothing like designing live together in focused creative sessions, riffing and shaping an idea til it emerges as a recipe for creation.
The collaborative process refines it...
Working collaboratively with clients and co-creators, a project is refined and developed iteratively, moving to closer to realization as the shared vision is confirmed with virtual simulations and physical prototypes.
kindness first
Please treat everyone here with kindness first, not knowing what journey they've been through to get here today.
"Honor the dignity of every human being
Speak the truth to one another in love
Walk humbly with each other and our God"
And concludes with Arrival...
The days, weeks, months and years of toil are always worth the precious first seconds of the fresh awareness newness has come to life, brought into the world through sheer will and doggedness.
