Thinking through things:
I am a designer. My work involves designing interiors, spaces, architecture, furniture and other objects. Although they’re just titles and designations, the act of referring to yourself as an interior designer or an architect seems to imply that you’re prioritizing one thing over another. So I’ve decided to simply call myself a “designer”. The scope of what I design isn’t fixed. I think about all things and objects on the same plane as possible targets for design, and constantly think about what it means to “design” something.
Personally, I feel that design is a heuristic act that involves creating and discovering new objects and things. Thinking that something is wrong or mistaken, or that something ought to be, or about whether something is really the case - I’m constantly turning these things around in my head, trying to get a different handle on things, or attempting to find a different sort of value within them. This, to me, is what it means to be new or innovative. In order to live rich and fulfilling everyday lives, we need to familiarize ourselves with new value systems, worldviews, and ways of accepting things. By making and crafting objects, I hope to be able to offer people a diverse range of new values.
