These are some sketches I have done over the last several years to explore ideas while honing my digital and traditional sketching techniques. Sketching is more to me than an avenue to communicate an idea. It is a way for me to study subjects, like footwear and cars, so that I can develop a deeper understanding of the features and design languages of things that people have a desire for. I have a strong appreciation for the process that goes into designing products that inspire people. This curiosity motivates me to design products that can inspire others as well, and the idea always starts as a sketch.
