Beauty in Design

Hello! Hello! Welcome to episode 12 of "Think-Design-Provoke" The Podcast. I am so happy to be here connecting with you for another week, creating valuable design conversations. This week we are conversing about Beauty in Design. Beauty can be subjective and controversial, because it is a personal perception, a personal experience. It is truly an art to balance beauty and function, and interior design is a harmony between these two concepts. The allure of a beautifully designed space is unquestionable, but an interior must also serve its intended purpose efficiently first. Let's dive in... This is the final episode of Season I and I feel so much gratitude for you my loyal listeners. I have been blessed with further demand in the Design world which is going to take me away from you for a time.

Relevance of Sustainability in Interior Design

Hello! Hello! Welcome to episode 11 of "Think-Design-Provoke" The Podcast. I am excited to be here connecting with you on another Friday of valuable design conversations. Happy Friday!!! This week we are conversing about the relevance of sustainability in interior design. All interior design professionals have a social and moral responsibility to the health, safety and welfare of their clients. We must provide ongoing acknowledgement and care for the most consistent, supportive and venerable of our long-term "clients": planet Earth. Sustainability is a whole ecosystem that supports the main four pillars through interior design interventions: human, social, economic, and environmental.

Furnishings And Space...A Constant Dialogue

Hello! Hello! Welcome to episode 10 of "Think-Design-Provoke" The Podcast. I am super happy to be here connecting with you on another Friday of valuable design conversations.  HI DOUBLE DIGITS!!! Can you believe we have 10 episodes already? This week we are conversing about the relationship of furnishings and space and its constant dialogue. Design, aesthetics and materiality contribute greatly to the dimension and atmosphere of a space. Spaces that are cohesive and positively influence our everyday lives are tied together throughout construction elements and other design scales like furnishings. A holistic design approach cannot exclude these key elements, they are an important part of the equation. Let's dive in...

Universal Design

Hello! Hello! Welcome to episode 9 of " Think-Design-Provoke" The Podcast. I am excited to be here connecting with you this week creating these meaningful design conversations. Happy Friday! Universal Design is a fundamental condition of good design, because it can be accessed, understood and used to the greatest extent possible by all people, regardless of their disabilities. A space should be designed to meet the needs of all people who wish to use it. When a space is accessible, usable and pleasurable to use, everyone benefits. The composition of a Universal Design environment sets the tone for consciousness, social inclusion and diversity. Let's dive in...

Interiors & The Five Senses

Hello! Hello! Welcome to episode 8 of "Think-Design-Provoke" The Podcast. I am excited to be here connecting with you on another Friday of meaningful design conversations.  Sensorial design takes into consideration all five senses in order to trigger specific feelings and emotions. By appealing to sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste, an all immersive indoor experience is created through the engagement of the users. The way spaces feel, sound and smell have equal weight to the way spaces look. These phenomenal properties in spaces influence how we perceive and interact with the world. Whether it is the place we live, the place we work, or the place we play, we always connect our senses to an interior space. Let's dive in...
