Finally I’m gaining a sense of understanding, and it is part of the process - we all have to learn. Studying design and sustainability in design has opened my eyes to the world. Like Cameron Sinclair once said, ‘When you design you either improve, or create something that is highly beneficial to the community in which you are designing’. Similarly, I’m a believer that innovative, resourceful and collaborative design can change the world. And I know this, because I have directly benefited from this notion of collaboration. Sharing knowledge and understanding through different contexts during university can be the healthiest means of growing - taking design ideas from an architectural perspective and emulating their core functions through industrial design for example can open a range of new possibilities. As Andrew Scott has continually noted, design originates from a combination of what is already there; it is a remix and it is infact a means of visual problem solving to reach a goal beneficial to the community. Design takes time, and after accepting the idea that one will never reach perfection - I’m finally overcoming the tendency I have for designing via a means of quantity instead of quality.

I had to find you, and tell you I need you.
