Crafted Experiences
Connecting with oneself is an often neglected path in the journey of life. In order for the user to experience the full benefits of rejuvenation and cleansing, it is imperative for the senses to be engaged, Through this interaction between the user and the environment, one can begin to appreciate not only the occularcentricies of our world, but also the hidden pleasures in life.
Designing for the senses
As a designer, it is important to be marketable as an asset to any client. Therefore, I derived my concept, Sensing Connections, from the principles and beliefs of my client, Six Senses
Connecting the Senses
As a designer, I try to incorporate multi-layered concepts into my designs. To fully understand this concept, one must allow the space to become humbling, to permit an emotional connection between user and space. This allows for each user to gain a shared experience of vulnerability and awareness to their own senses. Essentially, they are sensing connections through connecting the senses.
