"For years I found myself confined to the pattern of the 'solitary designer'. I designed, as most designers do, by myself, emerging days later with several ideas to show my client. The designs, each one of them, would be up approved or rejected. One, or course, was ultimately chosen to represent my client's business. Hooray!

However, the other designs were always discarded.. All that inspiration, intensity, all that totality, the creative juice, all the energy... not chosen therefore not needed. I often felt that if that energy had been channeled towards something that WOULD be used, I would more satisfied. And for years I meditated on what that might look like. Now I know.

I have always known that the fastest and easiest way to create what a client has in mind, what they are really trying to express from the level of their being, is for them to BE PRESENT DURING THE DESIGN PROCESS.

A voice in my head (old, past conditioning) had always said, 'It's too much pressure - having someone there looking over your back while you are designing. Besides, TIME is needed. What if it takes LONGER? Face it, it's too complicated to design face-to-face!" And in the past I believed it, and that none-to-wise little voice stopped me.

I could see that all my training and experience had prepared me for working quickly, efficiently and creatively, and I am an effective communicator and not afraid of co-creating. So, I tested it.

I worked with bassist Chris Pistorino (Bassist) and Owen Timoney (Madcap Theatre), putting their websites together in three days, as opposed to the usual three weeks!

The test was more than a success! I could see that it was possible to work consciously with another person's ideas and create something beautiful, QUICKLY. Now we are down to six, wonderfully efficient, hours - and great results!

Beautiful websites, quickly custom designed. Delighted customers. Happy me."

I started off my college adventure studying Architecture in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After two years of technical drawing and model building my advisor, the senior architecture lecturer had a straight conversation with me:

"Listen, you're just not cut out for architecture," he began. "Your work is too... well... beautiful!" He pulled out my sophomore end-of-year project from my portfolio. "Look!" he pointed to the schematic drawing of a rose, beautifully detailed and precise. Overlaying the drawing were multiple layers of watercolour, highlighting the delicacy of the rose in pinks and greens.

"Really, painting your final project?" he asked. "In, what is this, watercoulour paint?"

I couldn't see the problem.

"You'd be better off somewhere creative. Architecture is detail. You'll not be able to paint your plans anywhere but here at university. And even here, it's not really acceptable. Your project stood out from all the others because of it's uniqueness."

Isn't that good? I thought.

"Let's face it, it's beautiful. I'd buy it to hang on my wall if it were in an art market, but I have no idea how to begin to mark it as a schematic drawing." He passed it across to me. "I'll need another one. No watercolouring."

I took the board and stuffed it into my portfolio case. I thanked him, shook his hand, and headed for the door, and many hours redraughting a new schematic.

He loosened his tie as he packed things from his desk. I must have been the last thing on his list for the day. He looked at me and said, "If I were you, I'd take another path. You're a talented kid. This structure, and the years ahead of you will frustrate you. It will stifle it, crush it perhaps."

I dealt with many things in that moment. Hearing him suggest that I was both talented, and in direct conflict to the path I'd set off on. It made me laugh and sigh.

"Really," he added, "I have to wait until I retire to get back to my painting... five more years of teaching the young great architects. Then I'll be in Florida painting with coloured stucco. Meditate on it kid," he said, zipping up his case.

We headed for the door and another path altogether...

So, seeing as he was my 'Guidance' Counsellor, I though that I ought to give his guidance some thought.

And I did.

I moved the next sememster to another university, got straight A's as an Art Education Major, learning simoultaneously how to paint and how to teach how to paint.

My senior thesis was presented above all others in the Interdisciplinary Competition (the best projects from each university , mine beine education) and I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Art Education having taught and studied in Pennsylvania, USA and London, England.

After marrying a beautiful red-head from the emerald isle, I opened a Portrait Photography Studio in the UK and finally set off together to travel the world, taking website-design along with us...

We now live in Australia happiliy building web-architecture which is a good combination of my artistic right-brain and my analytical left. and I can build hundreds of them using all the colours and styles available in the palette of our imagination!!
