Things that inspire me

Design doesn’t start and end at my desk. Creativity is about piecing together things I have seen and things I found interesting. Inspiration can come from anywhere, the things that make an impact or move me leave impressions that influence my work. Curiosity wonderful and seeking out difference is what makes my design so authentic.

Colour

Colour has the power to change how we feel about things. Colour can be bold and attention grabbing, or subtle and calming. I like restricted colour palettes for efficacy but with a pop of something vibrant for modernity.

Pattern

Pattern helps to enrich designs and gives them authenticity. The world is full of incredible patterns all linked to culture and heritage. How pattern is used can be effective and add beauty increasing premium perception. I adore using pattern for its expression of energy.

Texture

Texture helps us to connect to things, by physically feeling things through touch our desire is to relate. Subtle texture can be eye-catching and enrich seemingly plain areas with detail that can skew how we relate to a design. I like to use texture in my work adding depth and layered interest.

Form

Form helps us to understand things, it can talk of quality, of modernity or reassurance. It can help describe taste, rounded and smooth, linear and crisp. It can be the essence of uniqueness. I like to use shape that fits the energy of the brand or conveys taste expectation.
