We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer about their original and creative design work. is an award-winning creative designer, that makes our world a better place with their original works.
("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: The main inspiration for tetra markers not only encourage children to be creative but to encourage children to think about reuse rather than simply discarding these into the trash after the ink dried up.
: The objective was to create color markers with interactive building toys for kids to create an opportunity for creativity extends beyond the page and the main focus was on functionality, aesthetics, and uniqueness. So I started investing in myself, in my competencies and knowledge. I wanted to create a product that encourages unique social behavior skill.
: I would like Tetra marker to produced and I am looking for what the competition offers in terms of promotion and commercial contacts so that Tetra reaches to many kids as possible.
: Tetra conceptualization took three months to complete. one month to do research and another two months to create a design.
: It was a personal inspiration that I set out to create something that creates the new paradigm for kids products that encourage unique behavior and a productive afterlife for the product.
: Tetra markers idea was conceived by me and for me as a "client" and The idea of assigning the commercialization rights for tetra has always existed, and indeed I see this award as an opportunity for this to happen.
: I have worked earlier in designing writing instrument and I got curious and started exploring after finding that lack of children stationary or toys which engage and positively impact children behavior and social skill.
: Not really, I do not think that I was directly influenced by a specific design or designer, though it is evident that the primitive shapes that well-known archetypes in our collective memory.I usually try to find inspiration in other fields that are different from product design.
: Tetra marker designed for young creative children to express their more creative side with a little help from Tetra Connector Marker.
: Unique is the marker with a toy, which engages and positively impacts children behavior and makes productive afterlife for the product.
: The name of the Tetra represents its cap Geometry which evolved from tetrahedron shape
: I usually work with a pen to sketch the ideas and outline style, then I start to work on the CAD in order to deepen the experimentation using 3-dimensional visualization.
: The Unique shape of Tetra marker makes it easy to press and pull out. Also, kids can put each compound together to form a shape and explore to build the new shape.
: The initial stage of online and market research performed on children stationary and toys which engage and positively impact children behavior and social skill. The next stage of research was to examine the existing block puzzle assembly and joint. Actually, my task was just the opposite of the one of a classical block puzzle; because I had to design structures that are simple and easy to assemble.
: Following the different conceptualizing phases, I discover that a real designer has to think of all aspects but in a realizable and practical way.
: International design competitions allow us to share our work in the wider global design community, gain feedback that allows us to grow our skills level and design methods and inspires both new and other designers. It also established credibility for the work we do. Getting a design award is a bonus and I am grateful for that!
: I enjoy when an opportunity for innovation is found in even the most simple of products. I have been learning technically how to solve some of the problems and this helps me anticipate solutions. As for the Tera interconnecting and its three-dimensional form, what has most surprised me is the difficulty encountered in optimizing and making them user-friendly.
