My Inspiration
Its just daily life...

Now if you look at the inspiration i have, there are just the basic things around us. Home, plants, clouds, sun, water, things lying around, geometry, reflections...

Fascinating how when we have the eye to appreciate those little things that make such big difference. Design is everywhere, it's everything! It just takes that eye, that love and that feel from the inside to observe what others cant. 

Have you ever just sat somewhere and watched the morning clouds roll in? Or caught yourself slowing down on an evening walk, looking up?

 

There's something about clouds that gets me every time. Those colors. That whole spectrum of blends happening right there in the sky, completely effortlessly. And here we are, struggling to put two colors together in a design without it looking off. Meanwhile the clouds are just out there making masterpieces. No effort. No second guessing.

 

Nature just does it better.

 

That's always been my biggest source of inspiration. Clouds, mountains, plants, tiny bugs, insects, rain, the sun, water. All of it. Every single bit of it. There's a visual language out there that no design school can fully teach you, and it's just sitting outside waiting.

 

So whenever I hit a wall, and trust me, every designer hits that wall, I don't stare at the screen harder. I walk out to my balcony. Look at my plants. Stare at the clouds for a bit. Just let myself breathe in whatever is out there.

 

That's how I break the block. That's how I come back to myself. That's how the thoughts start flowing again.

 

Nature doesn't rush. And somehow, it always figures it out.
