Interview with Brooke M Davis

Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
I have always been creative and studied art in primary school through college. I switched to design for my masters degree. I have always wanted to be a designer. I love creating objects!

What is "design" for you?
To me design is about intention whether it is problem solving, function, interaction, material choice, or form. Designers must be intentional about what they gift to the world.
What is your most favorite design, could you please tell more about it?
Georg Jensen- Silver water pitcher designed by Johan Rohde- Scandanavian Design I love the sleekness of the design and the perfection of the craftsmanship that beautifully combine design, function, and craft together. I have only seen this once in real life at a client’s house- it had it’s own spot light! As it should!
What is your favorite material / platform / technology?
I love playing with digital tools to create new and unique forms. Specifically I like using cnc technology as part of my working process. I usually start with sketches , that I then translate into forms in clay to understand my ideas better. Once I have a grasp of the forms , I then turn to the computer to model the forms in CAD. From here I have a variety of options for iteration from 2D images to 3D prints or 3D carvings. I use an iterative process where I go back and forth between the hand and the computer until my designs are complete
What kind of emotions do you feel when you design?
I love designing and can get very focused until my ideas are fully developed
What makes a design successful?
Promotion makes a design successful- if it’s a great idea hidden in your closet, the world will never get a chance to see it
When judging a design as good or bad, which aspects do you consider first?
Craftsmanship and execution of design. I often ask what is the intent of the designer and how well did the execute that intention
When was your last exhibition and where was it? And when do you want to hold your next exhibition?
I recently exhibited at Wanted Design in New York City during design week.
Where does the design inspiration for your works come from? How do you feed your creativity? What are your sources of inspirations?
I often am intrigued by form and wonder how I can challenge myself to design within that context
What are your suggestions to companies for working with a designer? How can companies select a good designer?
I think companies need to be open to a design process and select a designer that shares their design vision and values
Can you talk a little about your design process?
I usually am trying to work out a form or texture in my designs by hand, so my process includes a lot of hands on and then transforming it into CAD. I move fluidly back and forth across sketching, modeling, and computer modeling
What are 5 of your favorite design items at home?
My 10’ steel rocking couch, my rocking chair, a sputnik chandelier,
Can you describe a day in your life?
Everyday is different but I try to make a habit of sitting down and doing something creative everyday
Could you please share some pearls of wisdom for young designers? What are your suggestions to young, up and coming designers?
Take the time to give due process, great design is not made overnight it needs time to simmer in the subconscious and be discovered, evaluated and refined
From your perspective, what would you say are some positives and negatives of being a designer?
Bad design is everywhere- when you have a critical eye, it can be a burden to simply enjoy frivolous objects
Which tools do you use during design? What is inside your toolbox? Such as software, application, hardware, books, sources of inspiration etc.?
I use Rhino CAD as part of my go to computer programs, however before I get there I really try to sketch and do quick and dirty 3D moedls out of clay and other materials let an idea evolve.
Do you work as a team, or do you develop your designs yourself?
I do booth. A lot of my high end luxury furniture is done as solo design, but I also work collaboratively with clients to give vision to their ideas.
