My Design Philosophy

Our first assignment was discover our own unique design philosophy. We began by doing a word association defining who we are. I described myself as relaxed, natural, eco-conscious, outdoorsy, southern, creative and eclectic.

Next we were to list words that define what design means to you. Mine are harmonious, reflective, sustainable, natural, beautiful, and welcoming.

Thinking about who I am and what design means to me brought about my design philosophy. I believe that green design can be beautiful design. Through the use of clean lines, natural elements, and merging interior with the exterior you can create a harmonious space. Interior design should be reflective of the user and their culture, comfortable, relaxed and fresh. Mother nature is our best designer and I like to embrace that in my spaces, bringing it to the interior and creating exterior living spaces that work well. Good design is green design.

In this assignment we were to choose the ten best images that represent our design philosophy and show them in a collage.
