STATEMENT

BUILDING SKATEBOARD RAMPS, PIECING TOGETHER BMX BIKES, MAKING THE MOST OUT OF A ROOM SHARED WITH YOUR OLDER BROTHER, COUCHES IN CLOSETS,DRAWING ON THE BACK OF YOUR MOTHER’S HOMEWORK & MAKING GIFTS WHEN YOU CAN’T BUY THEM...DESIGN AND REDISIGN. THIS IS WHO I AM. I COULD NOT ESCAPE CONSTANT THOUGHTS OF MAKING MY OWN, INSERT OBJECT HERE, SO I HAVE EMBRACED IT. I BELIEVE I WAS DESIGNED TO DESIGN, TO COMMUNICATE MY CULTURE, MY LIFE, THROUGH ARTISTIC & FUNCTIONAL OBJECTS & INTERIOR SPACES. I BELIEVE YOU CAN LEARN TO DO ANYTHING, BUT IT IS THE FORCE BEHIND YOUR URGE TO LEARN SOMETHING THAT MATTERS, IT IS INNATE. I STRIVE TO SURROUND MYSELF WITH CREATIVES THAT UNDERSTAND MY DRIVE, MY HISTORY & MY HEART. FINDING MINDS THAT WORK TOGETHER TO ENCOURAGE & INSPIRE EACH OTHER TO PUSH THEIR PERSONAL BOUNDARIES, SUBSCRIBING TO STYLE, LETTING TRENDS & FADS COME & GO AS THEY PLEASE. THROUGH MY DESIGN I HOPE TO SHOW THE PUBLIC THAT SUSTAINABILITY STARTS WITH DESIGN & ENDS WITH THE CONSUMER’S KNOWLEDGE OF WHICH PRODUCTS AND LIVING CHOICES WILL BEST SUIT THE HEALTH OF THIS PLANET AS WELL AS THEIR OWN WELL BEING. IN MY DESIGN I WILL AVOID THE MATERIALISTIC & WASTEFUL NATURE OF THE INDUSTRY SEARCHING FOR THE SOUL OF DESIGN, THE NECESSITY OF QUALITY.
