Designing in a time of Covid





Well it's 2021

We should feel refreshed after the Christmas 'break' - right?

Hmm

Acceptance

Yes you saw right - acceptance

This is my keyword for 2021. And when I feel myself thinking less than charitable thoughts about the year ahead I tell myself to breathe, think calm, think A-C-C-E-P-T-A-N-C-E

Exciting new design projects can still be exciting

They will have to be tailored to fit the new normal of course, meaning no 'home' visits

So how do you design a home when you can't fully inhabit it? same as always -

get to know your client and their design needs

by using the tools available to you.That's it - simple!

Of course this means continuing to embrace my words from 2020 - adaptability and flexibility

As designers we are creative problem solvers 

There is always a solution. There is no 'perfect' solution, compromise of some sort is always a part of it, but, equally,  there is a way forward - always

So, let's accept and then dive into 2021 together. I'm ready when you are
