Design Philosophy: Design is utilizing materials and identifying the overlap of creativity and practicality. It creates harmony as a means for evoking feelings within the observer through the development of an aesthetic cohesion of a space. Passion is an essential aspect of all types of creative processes, particularly in the process of design. Passion allows me to recognize the importance of filling volume in a creative way through inclusion and diversity and gives me the opportunity to view space from a unique perspective for positive change and memorable experiences.
