IF YOU COULD HAVE COFFEE WITH ANY HISTORICAL FIGURE, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Rainer Maria Rilke (German Language’s Greatest 20th Century Poets.) I’ve only come across him recently. However, his work is so complex and the images used and how they interweave and play off each other is stunning. Rilke is certainly light years beyond me, as he is for 90% of all his readers. That being said, reading his poems certainly change your life, if only I had enough of one to change.
WHAT IS ONE THING YOUR TIME IN DESIGN SCHOOL HAS TAUGHT YOU THAT YOU DIDN’T EXPECT?
I learned that mydesign education isn’t something static. It is an ongoing journey that involves exploration and experimentation. Most importantly, I’ve learned to design based on research, developing and formulating concepts iterated by appropriate mediums.
