Sucessful design balances the senses so the user experiences the design goal. Whether a sence of calm, an environment for productivity, a comfortable surface to touch or look at is desired, the tools of texture, color, contrast and light are part of the design palatte.
Asking questions, actively listening, creating and responding with drawings, material boards and models takes patience. JI process revels in the strong ability to listen, sort through and group together information that achieves the client’s preferred aesthetic and functional needs. The process aims to present concepts creatively and clearly so everyone understands the big picture. Communication and collaboration are key to sophisticated and smart design.
Design can often feel like climbing a mountain. As a design professional I help clients start with a broad but varied base of information and take small precise steps toward the top. Stopping to reflect back on the view, then looking ahead at the peak helps the team enjoy the process.
