So I was going through some of my old files, being the New Year and all, and I found many of my design sketches from past projects. I was actually quite surprised at how close they ended up being to the final design so I figured I'd share them with you to give you insight on my process.

Initially I meet with the client to see how they live in the space and/or how they want to live in the space. I get an overall idea of what their essence is all about and then sketch up some ideas. Sometimes these are in a layout program, sometimes they're in Photoshop and sometimes they're by hand - it all depends on what the project calls for. This way, they understand what it is I'm about to do before I do it, so that we get all questions out of the way up-front and there are no 'bad' surprises. Then I get the okay for 15% latitude in creativity during the process since there are always things that come up that could be done different/better but you never know until you're in the middle of it. Finally, the after shots are taken and I now have a series of images that I can relive the design by. Hope you enjoy these. I'll be posting more periodically.
