Amplectere individualitatis.
“I look for individuality in the artisans I work with for CoutureLab; a loving relationship with the product and care in the construction, along with the story behind it, make couture desirable to consumers looking for something that cannot be mass-produced.”
— Carmen Busquets
It is my intention that this is a space where, when time and will allow, I can attempt to communicate in the written word my thinking and thought processes on things design, marketing and strategy, visual or otherwise. I won’t make any promises as to how (ir)regular or (in)frequent that may be, but it is my intention to do so. Perhaps, the shame of an empty page — or an extraordinarily long period of time between posts — will be incentive enough.
Originally, when I started rebuilding my site, my intent was to import my old WordPress content into this page, but I think we’ll keep things fresh and start this afresh as well. The old content is still accessible here.
I may also post some non-work-related things from time to time, just for fun.
Epulare.
That’s Latin for ‘enjoy yourself’.
And that’s your fun fact for today.
“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.”
— Sir Cecil Beaton (1904–1980)
