From this point on… is a turning point style statement ideal to me, since I decided roughly three years ago to pursue passion not profit. I believe I have to ability to creatively design, while effectively reducing waste consumption and improving health. Physical and emotional health is essential to improving my quality of life. I design using a worldview that I hope to expand with more travel and exposure to the different cultures of the world. Connectivity is achievable only through honest understanding and empathetic connections between the peoples of the world.
From my own sources of inspiration and interpretation, I identify with heavy use of contrast, chiaroscuro, and emotional transition. I like to travel, but sadly have done very little of it. This does not mean that I have not experienced the world at all. Everyone has a past, but how many can claim to cite the bullet in their head as a major source of inspiration and motivation? I don’t take life for granted, I believe in bold statement, and “swimming against the stream”. Individualism is essential to create effectively. I also believe it is the connections in our personal life, that effectively prepare us for our professional lives. Over the past few years I have seen this evidenced in my life, as I connected with my niece and nephews. I never felt a connection to younger generations prior to this, now I keep the spectrum of age differences in mind while creating. With the birth of my first child later this year, I believe I have the ability to affect the next generation in a positive manner.
