I have often been asked why I have not established a signature style. The brilliant architect Renzo Piano (Centre Pompidou) when asked why it is not essential, articulated my design approach perfectly. I have always loved the fact that, in our profession, every time you do a new job, it's a new story.
Commercial design has great value in the workplace, it is one of the largest sectors of interior design due to corporate and government offices, retail and institutional clients. Although most people understand design as something that happens for homes and restaurants, banks and office towers, the smaller workplace is often overlooked, or an office furnishings company provides some design services along with the desks they sell.
During my long career, which has focussed on healthy, ecological design solutions for hospitality and residential clients, there has never been a more important time for owners and operators to pay attention to how - Design Can Make a Difference. Currently we are creating sidewalk patios where cars parked last year, and I was part of the advocacy letter writing to mayors and the provincial government, that created this new opportunity.
