People often ask me about my design process and my creative workflow. They usually ask: Do you sketch by hand first? What tools do you use? What is your favorite app for modeling? How long does it take you? Since each project is extremely different from the last so it can be hard to give an accurate answer each time. Also I am constantly learning new methods and new techniques to complete my design objectives. The answers to most of those questions are that my designs are unique and are developed using different tactics and styling.
Unfortunately, a perfect recipe or a secret formula does not exist for creating successful parts. I always say sometimes you need to work out all the bad ideas just to get to the good ones. I also embrace the chaos and challenges of design. I believe we all need to constantly reinvent ourselves and continue push ourselves to become better at our craft.
For this design I wanted to focus my attention on an everyday item. Something that everyone can relate with. This project is called the Snap-Back wallet. It is a simple concept that is a great example of my workflow journey. I actually started this project earlier this summer. However, I really wanted to finish it using aircraft grade aluminum created on my brand new CNC machine. The overall design shape was inspired by an ultra-smooth river rock. I have often turned to nature for my design inspiration.
