Overcoming career challenges in the interest of design with Jamie Maunder

Image
The key to art lies within its subjective nature. Take the age old saying, for instance, that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. A single image has the power to invoke entirely different emotions from any number of individuals. For this reason, art will never please everyone and for an artist like Jamie Maunder, this has been a career-long challenge. A challenge, however, that he has embraced with an open mind and a will to address wherever possible. He has an unprecedented resilience and in the field of design, this ability could not be rarer. It is with this resilience that he manages to take himself outside of his work and his own personal biases in order to craft designs that please his clients and keep them coming back for more. “The main challenge in my design career has been trying to please everyone. There are always going to be people who love your designs, but there will also always be people who don’t. It took me a long time to accept that reality. If we all li...

WEAVING AN ARTISTIC SENSIBILITY INTO PUBLIC PLACES

Image
Creativity, a unique voice, and environmental awareness are in diametric opposition to the idea of the furnishings and the appearance of commercial public and corporate environments. This idea has been profoundly proven to be in error thanks to EcoChic designer/founder/CEO Megan Risdon. EcoChic’s successful relationship with American e-commerce company Wayfair has established a template of visually striking looks from resourced materials which can be marketed and distributed to consumers who are not solely focused on creating a home environment. EcoChic has been immensely popular to individual consumers but the commercial clientele at Wayfair has found Risdon’s designs particularly valuable in giving them the ability to communicate a strong signature while manifesting vibrance. Beauty and practicality don’t always go hand in hand. Megan’s signature style is her use of exciting colors with the organic feel of wood. Wayfair’s commercial customers require durability and desire p...

GIVING AN EXTRA TOUCH OF CLASS TO A JAPANESE RESTAURANT

Image
The way in which a product is presented is as important as the product itself, sometimes even more so. While the entrepreneur in all of us would like to believe that a superior product or service always receives the most attention, that simply is not reality. Jim Ward understands this extremely well. This designer has worked with countless well known and lesser known brands and companies to enable them to reach their customers more accurately and effectively. In a manner similar to the way a great film director crafts and presents a story to entertain the masses, Ward crafts the proper camera angles, lighting, even costuming…or the equivalent of these in the advertising/branding world. This award-nominated Designer has been the discerning eye and guiding force for names such as Haagen Dazs, Byron Burgers, Deliveroo, and many more. His work with the pan-Asian restaurant Wagamama transformed their aesthetic into a much more sleek and considered look which derived its inspiration from th...
