Design Philosophy
|
"Originality drives me, and my approach to design is
a fluid one. It relies on spontaneity, intuition, and a little bit of serendipidity
but most importantly, collaboration. I seek to capture the essence of ideas and color
and prefer to let the artists' imagination elevate my design visions to new and many times
unexpected levels. By inspiring artists to create freely and to go beyond my original ideas,
we create together amazing objects and functional art. I feel honored to be working with such
a talented group of Peruvian artists and my goal is to help them realize their full potential.”
-Alessandra Bravo, Designer
