How do we arrive at certain design decisions? What does your internal monologue say and how does it relate to form or function? Do you take notes to reach a conclusion? What happens along the way? How does something work?
For me, a sketchbook is a way to work through these questions and any other that might come up throughout a day. Sketches of ideas, snippets of poetry. Quotes, drawings, renderings. My favorite way to work is by hand with a pen and a blank sheet of paper. I enjoy the tactility, the smell of the paper, the portability. I think everyone should have a space to work through ideas. Sometimes, this evidence of thought can lead to a more articulated and refined concept when it comes to delivery. Others, it can be evidence of a day’s passing or inspiration. I have even been known to doodle on napkins.
