Design = Creativity + Purpose + Action

Design is our way of making sense of things. Through design we try to make things better, safer, healthier, more effective, and understandable.
Design is more than decoration or the image of the final result.
Design is a process of investigation, of analysis, understanding, empathy, and action to build purpose and usefulness into new ideas and creativity.

"Design, for me is a process of investigation, of analysis, understanding, empathy and action to build purpose and usefulness into new ideas and creativity. I always try to create interior environments that are healthy, safe, sustainable and supportive for the business, staff, customers and all users of the interior space. And, after all that, if it can look good too I am doing very well!"

Retro Wallpaper

by Anthony Lingwood

Hollis Brown Thornton uses modern cultural artifacts ranging from family photos to pop culture imagery in order to illustrate the modern relevance of these ideas from the past. In the acrylic paintings, pigment transfers, and marker drawings, the use of “erase face” and “limbo lines” all play key roles in uniting the fleeting present to a lingering past.

“The space invaders, which originated in the early Atari video games, represent the origins of virtual reality. Their simple illustrations are noticeably constructed of the square pixels that make up the virtual world. With any beginning, there is an ending, and the invaders illustrate the preoccupation many cultures and belief systems have with an impending doom. This potential end may arrive in the form of space invaders or some other object from space or something here on earth, perhaps a disease or it may be the man made doom, such as the computer itself. It could arrive very quick or very slowly and obviously, like the space invaders, like the closing credits at the end of a movie.” HBT
