WORK IN PROCESS

A blog, I guess.

Greetings from Carra

April 6, 2017

I guess the only way to start is to actually start. I became noticeably obsessed with process during my last year at Virginia Commonwealth University. A fresh start after taking a year off school, I began to appreciate the process of my work in a whole new way. I used to want to see the final product as soon as I began working, so I would rush through my work to get there. Then, I had a professor who spoke about process in a whole new way, thanks Mitch. But really, thank you!

Sometimes, I stumble upon designers sharing their process. Seeing how they took an idea to sketch to the between to the final deliverable, it helps me not feel super overwhelmed when faced with a design challenge. Below are two of my favorite process blogs:

Anyways, this is the safe space I will share my process and other things.

It's hard convincing a client that a sketch can become even more than what it is at its most simple state. I'm hoping to have this blog be a place of process to show how a project can transform from sketch to final and beyond.
