Design projects and products

Honour the concept.

Soil Concept

Seed theproject

Feeding Growth Flowersbloom

Fruits,pick a fruitand taste it

Harvest maturefruits

Let's say that a creative mind is like a fertile soil and the seed is a new project. My philosophy takes inspiration from Nature and how a plant grows up and gives its fruits from a little seed, time after time.

| 1 | Seed the project A new assingnment begins, the project is like a seed and it will be fed by what's inside your mind: experiences, memories, thoughts, observations, concepts, people, objects, environment, nature, weather, bad and good moods, events etc.

| 2 | FeedingIt's time to study and research, write down concepts and see what's already done by others. It's time to feed it with knowledge, brainstorming, ideas, concepts, case studies and work experiences.

| 3 | GrowthSketches and drawings are the first results, like the leaves of a young plant. Many leaves, many sketches and drawings. It's taking shape, step by step.

| 4 | Flowers bloom Everybody knows it takes time before the flowers bloom. It's when finally you have something more detailed in your head and on your papers, you know the right direction.

| 5 | Fruits The design seems ready and like a fruit it takes time to be mature and tasteful. Pick a fruit and taste it, it can be good, but you need to taste it, share it, handle it, play with it, eat it and digest it.Put your final drawings and results in a folder for a week, forget about them and wait.

| 6 | HarvestWith new eyes and a fresh mind you see what was hidden before. Adjust, change, modify and redesign.The fruits are now mature and tasteful; the project is ready.
