Thinking Outside the (Design) Box

As a creative consultancy, design is always top of mind for our team – graphic design specifically. But we are also regularly inspired by other types of design thinking, which can be discovered in industries ranging from architecture to fashion.

Sometimes the best inspiration is drawn from creative ideas outside our regular wheelhouse. After all, if you want to incubate new ideas, why not seek creative stimulus that differs from your own, but can still inform your artistic process? So, we’ve decided to interview four remarkable creatives who practice their own unique interpretation of design thinking in fields outside branding and marketing.

Though their applications and outcomes might differ, exploration of these professionals’ design mindsets, inspirations and intentions reveal that creativity is a muse we can identify in many forms. From a modernist interior architect to a master sculptor to an inventive hair stylist, we hope you’ll enjoy these profiles and celebrate the limitless opportunity and creative energy of design thinking.
