Design Philosophy

The best thing in the world is to create something from your imagination and see it come to life. I've been making this happen for three years now and I absolutely love it. I hope one day to become a designer of custom homes, as well as themed design. I want to push the boundaries of regular design and completely toss out neutral design. I've studied abroad in France, England, Spain, and Portugal, giving me endless ideas from the past and for the future.

Line Study




As of right now, this post is incomplete. The first drawing is that of my thumbnail sketches. Basically just as many ideas as I can come up with, inspired by Michael Parkes, his quote listed previously, and some form of an optical illusion. It took me quite a long time to figure out what I wanted to do but the second drawing is what I came up with. In the end, I felt like it didn't quite have enough of an optical illusion, so the final drawing, which I will hopefully post tomorrow, will show the edits.
To explain my design choice, I started to play around with objects that are off-balance with one another. This was because Michael Parkes regularly depicts animals and people defying gravity, off-balance with the world around them. From there, I went to the quote, where Parkes invites people to live in other realms. I took that, and the optical illusion idea, and tried to create a series of off-balanced lines which seem to pull you into a different realm.
