Since I consider design the prime part of all art, for me intuitiveness is themethod I know to reach a rough wow, much like a music composer doodling on the Piano until something...., a group of notes reveal themselves as the basis for a a new composition.Likewise with me, the rough wow becomes the fuzzy object that in turn becomes a more recognizable thing without destroying that wow. At this point,words/ my personal knowledge / skill / taste, attempt to maintain what I consider a uniqueness of what my being is, takes over, till it's completion.
