Design is intuitive. It is conscious and curious. Design is sustainable, simple and obvious. It is efficient and relatable.
I believe that design problems should be approached with creativity, collaboration and exploration. I find research to be a strong foundation for good design: discovering user interaction and behaviors. A design is successful when it can communicate to and fit into the lives of many different people.
My objective as a designer is to work with an inspirational team to design sustainable products by utilizing new materials and considering the entire product life-cycle, and ultimately, create designs that are intuitive, beautiful and simple.
