New Design Philosophy

Here is the new design philosophy that I came up with:

Design is a journey, as much about the process as the end result. I am most compelled by exploring new inspirations and discovering worlds I’ve never before experienced, such as African-American Art and Delftware pottery. As I sketch my designs, a story unfolds about the wearer of the garments. This leads to a more in-depth personalization of my designs inspired to fit my character’s personality. This could be reflected in anything from the textile pattern to the curve of a lapel. My designs are often simple silhouettes with quirky details, but sometimes my characters lead me to be extravagant.

It may need some more tweaking.
