Design Principles

  1. Don't be afraid of Color.

    Bold or subtle, color can heal or soothe, energize or empower

  2. If it is over-designed it is missing the Big Idea.

    Solutions should be effortless in both development and final perception

  3. Successful design comes from all three: the Head, the Heart, and the Hand.

    Thoughtfulness and Intelligence, Empathy, and Flawless Execution

  4. Being a Designer is being a Good Listener.

    The Design Process is always collaborative

  5. Understand the difference between Fashion and Style

    Timeless vs. Right Now
