Opportunity

"Following a plan is good for progress, but opportunity usually exists off the plan".








I feel this quote by Simon Sinek is so true when it comes to design.


Many of my master strokes have evolved from thinking outside the box and having the courage to deviate from the plan.

I encourage you to take time to think outside the box with your space.

At the very least be open. Observe, question and experiment.

Time = Good Design

My ears pricked up just now. Sitting on my lounge entrenched in a document, I couldn't help but pay attention when Grand Designs' Kevin McCloud said:

"Good design is not about spending money, it's about spending time"

Oh so SO so true!

In our busy world where every minute must convert to a dollar it's just too easy to lose sight of the importance of time. Time to create and design is intrinsic to a successful outcome.

We certainly appreciate our clients who understand this and give us the gift of time.

Here's some good design I specified for a client recently - the stunning Hagia Coffee Table from Kenneth Cobonpue. It took a while to find the ideal solution for this client and it was worth the wait. It is perfect and ticks all the boxes!

It's bed time for me. Night night all.

Talent

Yesterday my film editor husband, Jas, spoke to a industry audience at a new seminar series run by Tropfest ‘Rough Cut’. Our wonderful Australian of the year, Jeffery Rush, also spoke at this event. Jas said it was a sensational day full of inspiring stories.





Last night Jas shared some highlights with me and I just loved what Jeffery Rush said about ‘Talent’. He advised the aspiring film makers not to be overly consumed with promoting themselves. In his words ‘The cream always rises to the top’. ‘If you are truly talented’, he said, ‘acknowledgement will always find you’.

I thought this was so very true with a liberating and powerful sub message for today's world of hyper social media - Let's move away from our ego and just get on with our craft!
