I love saving items from a landfill, once loved now cast aside or the owner has passed and I rescue it for a new beginning. Ex: A broken piece becomes a vessel for an air plant. I also take unusual new products to a whole new level.
For me, creating a memorable design begins with a look then a question, will it work? In my travels I have no specific items on the agenda. The Dream doesn’t work if I pre-plan it. In other words once an item attracts my interest my creative brain feels the inspiration.
The lost treasure comes home, and becomes found again.
