WHY
We want to use design as a communication tool, to make design approachable for everyone.
Copy/paste and plus one.
To make design approachable for everyone, we ‘copy/paste’ the pros and cons we’ve learned from past design so people are able to easily acknowledge and feel comfortable with it. Then we ‘plus one’ by making alterations to enhance the design to fit better with the context we’re working with.
DESCRIBE YOUR PRACTICE IN THREE WORDS.
Please = Friendly, Playful, Entertain, Pleasing
Feel = Empathize, Seek to understand, Non – judgmental
Invited = Share idea, All ideas worthy

WHERE DO YOU GO, OR WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU GET STUCK ON A PROJECT?
1. Pinterest
2. Make problem-solving tree
3. Make a pro and cons chart
4. List all the possible solutions then make the decision and stick with it.
We are proud of all of our projects and every step it took to get there, they made us who we are today. Whether the project is built or unbuilt, completed or still under construction. Each project was fun in its own way and we learn different lessons from all of them.
Unbuilt projects gave us the opportunity to express our identity and ideas.
Projects under construction help us learn how to realize our ideas, negotiating to retain our requirements while still balancing other parties’.
Completed projects let us reflect on the pros and cons of our design in order to do better in future projects.
IF YOU COULD INVITE ANY CREATIVE OUT FOR COFFEE, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY?
Virgil Abloh. As an artist, architect, and designer, the way in which he conveys the philosophy of architecture and design through different products for people to understand would make for a thought provoking discussion.
