Design is an art form
Not in everybody’s hands.
The ones who treat it that way,
They literally vibrate.

The colorations. Awe.

Attention. Observation. Appreciation.

Iterations. Evidence, over time, of how I listen and draw out of you and your space, just how far together- we can reach. A narrative design process to create a daily joyful experience that expresses your energies. I am that sensitive. Let me know when you can start a conversation.

Inspirations: Fashion- it is a well spring that brings color, textures and bending examples to my eyes and heart. This realm has been a portal to where interiors may go. Especially color.

Here is W***y Chavarria. If you dont have TikTok- search for him on YouTube. Just look at him, his approach to this Paris show and his clear heart.

Pro Tip: He has collaborated with Kendrick Lamar for the Super Bowl half-time show. I’m gonna watch for that alone. Explore and Enjoy!

Glass House.

Narrative Design Process. Choose a story or adapt or bend or cull a story or just make one up. Populate the story with a few true-isms or solid aspects. Like…
“My client bought this property (true), and it’s one of the oldest homes in Traverse City (true) and there was a small church there (not true) and the parsonage remains (sort of true, there is a house) and only the foundation and the North Wall remained (total fabrication) and we are simply building our Glass House upon this ecumenical stone foundation to revive and re-invigorate our connection to light and nature and weather through the thin veil of modern glass.”
See? Now we can ideate around that Narrative- that Story. We are not slaves to such a story but it provides, for a moment, a start, a hook, a prompt from which to explore. It is the cut in the grass, that opening, that portal from which we dive into, for a moment or longer, to see if it has some depth, some offering of interest. Are we still attracted? How does this feel?
Sometimes we find out how much these stories cost. All that Masonry, whew. So… We moved on and re-wrote our Narrative.

Our studio. My place. Ever adapting. Laboratory where I experiment with tissue paper iterations, full scale dry-erase studies, mock-ups, prototypes, wondering, trying it out. What if? Why not? Let’s look, step back and maybe come back tomorrow morning to see how we feel. More to tell about our location here in Central Neighborhood. Another story about dreaming.
