3 . Where does your design inspiration come from ?
My inspiration comes from my life - I lived 20 years in NYC , have traveled the world and currently live in Mexico - where I go , what I see , who I know , what I ’ m listening to - whatever I encounter that resonates and makes an impression is all source material for what I create .
4 . In what direction do you feel that design is moving towards in a general sense ?
As a counter reaction to minimalism , I anticipate the pendulum to keep swinging in the direction of Maximalism - however that might be interpreted by the great talents . After a year focusing inward , my sense is that inhabitants of “ white on white ” environments found them less than satisfying . I think there will be a reaction to that .
5 . Name five key themes to consider when approaching design in 2021 and beyond .
- Deep Layering - visual history - Authentic Materials & Textures - Balanced Patterns - active & resting eye - Artful Interior - art / design space - Collected Objects - personal interior
6 . If you could offer one piece of advice when it comes to design schemes , what would it be ?
In each scheme there should be only one star - an object , color , detail etc - and then many supporting roles . Creating a successful scheme is all about creating dialog . Remember what you want to say and then have THAT conversation .
