Design Philosopy
“Good design is a process that blends FUNCTION, COMFORT, and ART, in exactly that order. I start with the research; the client, the site, and all the needs therein. This is the most important part of the process. All the creative opportunities and constraints stem from this analysis. Then, we determine what it is that will make sure the user enjoys the experience. Once this is achieved, we take it a step further – challenge the design to reach beyond what works to what excites. Lastly, it must be dynamically attractive. Altogether, our goal is to satisfy function, achieve comfort, provide beauty, and promote a thriving, sustainable environment for us all to live in.”
