Much of what I put on paper is basic, obvious, sometimes clichéd. But sketching is a bit like panning for gold. To find what glimmers you need to shake off the dirt.

Idea generation

Least resistance

This is a glimpse of the sketches I’ve made over the years, and a reminder how much they help. Drawing is the fastest way to explore ideas and their variations because you can play with a much broader range of thoughts than if the same amount of time was spent on a computer.

If there are two or three good ideas that I’m struggling to choose between, I might show my client one carefully considered sketch for each direction. I’d describe why they’re a strong fit and how they might adapt to various applications. But most of the time sketches go unseen, because it’s my job to show what works, not what doesn’t.
