Who you are

You are a competent designer who understands processes and construction, enjoys grappling with different scales and can work outside their previous experience.
You aren’t tied to any particular style; instead, you like to find suitable responses grounded in context, challenges, or tensions you discover within a brief. Despite this, you have a strong aesthetic sensibility and appreciate clarity, simplicity, and innovation in design.
