By now you've probably seen a photo of me, possibly seen a few images of my work and also found my self-created website. So already you know a little about me. Well, here is a little more to fill in those gaps!
My name is Richard Stowey and I currently reside in north London, England. I am a design engineering student and I communicate my interpretations of the world through problem solving, logical thinking and emotional responses to what I see. I think Ed Annink and Ineke Schwartz explain what a designer is and does best in their book Bright Minds, Beautiful Ideas:
| "The profession of designer is a turbulant one. A designer likes to interact with people (colleagues, airplane captains, bartenders, friends, reasturant keepers, football players, actors, manufacturers, scientists, managers, artists and so on), which together generates many insights and ideas. He or she likes books and magazines and other visual and verbal information of all kinds and from all countries. A designers wants to know what is happening in the world. Who is doing what and above all: why? All his friends are like that. And all percieve the world in different ways, they see differently, explain differently, and decide differently. So their output is different as well." |
I like to think that I take a slightly different view on the world, asking questions about the mundane and the simple things we all take for granted. I like to write about things i see and learn. I enjoy reading about a variety of subjects which design, art, sustainability, psychology, innovation, possibility, engineering and many more and I am keen on learning new things all the time.
My future as probably as uncertain as anyones. Whether I will ask profound questions to stump scientific marvels, create paradigm shifts within a religion or write a film script are anyone's guess. My aims, however, involve the persuit of a design career using both creative and technical expertise to design and develop products and systems which matter.
If you would like to know more, then I invite you to read and comment on my blog or peruse my portfolio until your heart is content. I thoroughly reccomend downloading my delorean animation too! Feel free also to get in touch.
