Pamela Tan (PT) The design process is my favourite part of a project because it’s a period of discovery; I never know what’s the final outcome and that is the exciting part. I love how the final outcome can still surprise me every time.
My design process varies with the type of projects I m working on but generally, it starts with finding a subject or a narrative. These could include elements of history or research based on colour and material studies. These findings were then translated into design characteristics, taxonomy or modular pieces. This is where I began my experimental phase; I experiment with different materials, building prototypes, and understand them through a process of trial and error. The final design outcome is literally the final prototype.
