What I have learned, and what I do to ensure a successful project
"My role is to envision a solution for a client's conceptual need or problem and bring it to life through collaborative design. I often seek to create pieces with unique characteristics, adding special features or details when possible. I then shape it into a functional, distinctive work of art that fulfills its purpose and sparks conversation. Throughout the process, I work closely with the client, involving them in the finer details until the piece is complete, at which point they take full ownership. It's something they can take pride in. This is the kind of project I find ideal. While not all projects allow for this level of creativity, I'm still eager to take on interesting ones." — Eddie
