The new year is usually busy for me with a great deal of travel. Visiting different cities and exploring has always been my greatest source of inspiration. While I am longing for the days of discovering distant places, below are some ways that I am staying creatively charged in 2021, despite the ongoing hardships and lockdown measures.

Nature
There is so much inspiration to be found in nature. From colours to patterns, you can never be bored looking to nature for inspiration. I like to get outside for fresh air and take in my surroundings. For my Miami home project, I was inspired by the blues and greens ever present in the tropical climate.

Materials Collage & Mood Board
I begin every project with a materials collage. Design for me is all about the feel – the intuitive connection we have for colours and textures that resonate with us. I am always collecting images and have found peace in getting my ideas down on paper in a sketchbook.
