DESIGN MANIFESTO

Design; to conceive or fashion in the mind, to invent.

    We as designers are inventing spaces; Spaces and environments that shape our thinking and emotions. These spaces affect people in ways we can only imagine. When we design something it goes through several processes in trying to achieve the overall goal. Some jump right into drawing and sketching ideas, while others spend hours upon hours thinking about what they will do before they do it. I am very guilty of this. Sometimes you just have to go for it and refine,refine, refine.The overall goal is to be aesthetically pleasing, sustainable, and practical.

    Refining and re-doing is a very important part of designing anything. Without refinement you may come out with a nice design, but by refining you perfect the design as much as possible. It shows in each end product.
    I have always been drawn to designs that are aesthetically pleasing. What ever you invent should show "craft". Sight is such a powerful gift that we have been given and I believe that the space should be very pleasing to the eyes.

Design for a purpose!
   Every space needs a purpose and the purpose influences how the space is designed. Without a purpose it makes designing a space difficult. Every design should be functional.
