Death. I know, very odd way to start out this article, right? Do you imagine me sitting here in all black with smudged eyeliner listening to ominous music… a human skull majestically balanced in one hand saying ‘to be or not be, that is the question’ ?! I don’t blame you, but I promise I’m getting to my point here… and that point is not to make you sad or scared, actually quite the opposite! Death is rarely talked about. It seems to me that it’s ignored until we are devastated by it through the passing of a loved one or time has given us the gift of growing older, allowing reflection on what is to come; what each of us will experience one day.

Most Designers Specialize in One Style: Here is Why I Don't.
Design is an art; a mosaic of information and collaboration and personality all wrapped into a space occupied by the people it reflects. A child’s first steps, family dinner, eating a gallon of ice cream on the couch while watching a love story… your home is there for it all.

Placing the design esthetic onto a project too quickly will immediately restrict and confine the possibilities before it has ever gotten off the ground.
