how do designers develop ideas?
To get a clear view on the topic I usually sort any information I get into one of three simple categories. Then I try to verbalize the problem as detailed as possible. On that basis I start to design.
main influences
The concept of “form follows function” was an influence on me that still has an impact on the way I work.
