Impact Design
Design is more than aesthetic beauty with user friendly functionality. There is a whole behind the scenes of design that starts with problem solving. Endless hours go into brainstorming and troubleshooting long before a human gets to interact with the “solution.” Regardless of your profession or your claim to being a type A personality, you too create solution in your everyday life. Think about the behind the scenes of your personal or professional life and what you put into everything that’s manifested into your job title, business or your family and home. That’s a ton of solution making so you can now consider yourself a creative person?
There is a solution to everything, especially if there is a desired goal at the finish line. Sometimes the solution goes down a whole new path that has an even greater impact. One major ingredient in this process is to remain flexible and open minded for a variety of possibilities to formulate. The best solutions usually happen at unexpected moments. The finished product is bittersweet for the creators as it is a much anticipated time and also the end of the whole ideas/solution birth. This is possibly similar to what parents may feel when they send their children off to college or into adulthood. It’s a beautiful mixture of sadness and pride. And so a new beginning and creative cycle starts again. Happy problem solving or solution creating!
