E. Kevin Schopfer AIA, RIBA

I am a trained Architect. my family has a rich architectural heritage, (my father in particular) which I had always been influenced by.

Our company is 30 years old and is a culmination of design efforts including architecture, interiors, urban design, and product design.

Design is both the emotive and practical. Design in broad terms raise the quality of experiences and enhances our daily lives. History has shown our quest towards these pursuits rewards those who seek it.

I like a design challenge and therefore look to all fields of that endeavor. The broader the spectrum the more interwoven the disciplines.

The beauty of design is there is no singular favorite or best of anything.

Favorite is too limiting. I allow all materials to seek their influence.

All aspects. A strong concept can only be realized with appropriate application of process.

If it is able to capture the imagination of people outside your own sphere and serves a useful function, from advancing an oblique theory to practical usage.

Make the most of the task and materials at hand. As resources dwindle, each design takes on more importance for its existence.

The design field is in a technology driven era with the use of new tools and applications. We should not be totally captivated by that but blend it into our work.

My last exhibition was at the Haywood Gallery, London; (Royal Institute of British Architects).

Design inspirations are everywhere and not confined to the traditional trajectory.

Don't always look to those with vast resumes in the field. There is talent in excess ready to explore and design. Team them up.

Keep your perspective, do your best and with luck and determination, good will follow.

Scheduled time allocators must be met, but bear in mind no design is ever complete, the end is ongoing.

All job experiences are cumulative, one learns from the blending and evolution of these experiences.
