Short for squiggles, “squigs” is a pseudonym that captures my interests:
Squiggles are what I like to draw on paper to bring an idea to life.
Squiggles are the contour lines on a topographic map that I seek out when running or cycling
Squiggles are the sinuous movement of my design & life interests
Squiggles are childish & fun 〜〜〜〜 I like to learn through play!
The less you own,
the more freedom you have.
This may be a counterintuitive belief to hold for someone who wants to design products destined for ‘consumption’, but I believe in designing things to last, so that what you hold develops a personal significance - like a long, rewarding relationship that you can’t help telling everyone about.
It provides an opportunity to design for longevity: Allow a product to age, wear & weather and it will respond to produce marks that tell a story & build character. Patina produces personality.
