Design in this digital modern era is very much influenced by so many facets and factors such as market forces, social media, influx of product availability,  trends, economic drivers of a project ,manufacturing, construction and information technology, google, pin-interest, instagram and recently AI tech.​

The tools that are available to Designers allow concepts to move and develop an idea very fast within the push of the send button.​

However where there is great progress there is also chaos and confusion. ​

These tools and forces can derail or make the success of a final product whether it is a building design, a table or the interior of a private home. A good designer can manage and use these forces and propose a solution, but a great designer will be able to bring about a beautiful and harmonious design that will bring delight to the end users.

A fusion of form, function and elegance.

"Although clients come to me to make something look exclusive-often its a collaborative process, and about what problem we are faced with and how to crack it open with a baseball bat to reveal the gold revalation inside - so it’s the way we approach and the design thinking that really makes a successful project or product."

"I know what its like to invest all your capital in a project, to risk it all on a product that may or may not work. So I always have this in the back of my mind when I'm designing something because we are given a responsibility . We care about the end result which needs to be working on all levels-" Samuel
