PHILOSOPHY  FOR DESIGNING SPACES

 I have come to understand that effective and successful designing, is in part attained by understanding that everything we do to a space, whether through a colour palatte, a material selection, the ambiance  of lighting,  all affects the energy of a space.  The more we understand the subtlety of how all these many design elements are infusing a space energetically, the more we will be able to create the design that we are inwardly longing for. 

 My intention as a designer is to engage my clients in a dialogue so that I assist to provide a bridge between their inner reality – their way of being and living – what uniquely provides for  them,  “well-being,”  with their exterior realities and intention – the actual physical design of their outer spaces, the structure, the outer form and  all its contents.

Critical to this process is  to really hone in on the kind of “feel”  or “feeling” or energy a client intends for a space.  In turn,   this inspires and directs me to know best how to guide and carefully select all the elements that will reflect that individual's intention and expression for their space.

 All  choices need to integrate together as they create the energy to affect the experience for the space.  When this alignment is accomplished, anyone walking into the room immediately “feels” it.   They know something is “really working” and making sense at a core design level. This is successful designing as  high art – the end result  is to ensure a more “beautiful space” , one transmitting balance and harmony which will  be experienced and enjoyed by all.
