“…When I consider creating objects, I think about making things that should have long term value for the people who interact with them, and I also think about the process of making – the craft. I believe very strongly in making right now. It’s not about just having ideas – not just coming up with concepts on paper, but really getting into the idiosyncrasies of prototyping and making things, considering the craft as part of the design. I don’t think you fully understand how something works or fully understand how it will affect people in the physical world until you build it, you experience it and discover more details about it. That is something I am really interested in doing right now, which I’ve seen a lot of industrial designers avoid- getting their hands dirty, understanding the manufacturing process, and prototyping.”
