On the 5th of March Lauren Moriarty came for a visiting lecturer. She works as a textile and product designer with a focus on materials experimentation and combining craft and industrial making processes to create textile concepts for products and interiors. Her work has featured in national and international design and lifestyle magazines. Her work seems to be more experimental than design as she mentioned really enjoying playing around and experimenting.
During the lecture she sat down and shown us stills of her work explaining in nice detail what she did, why she did it and how. She was also discussing how she has her own style and how it helped to brand your work when your work is unique.
Her work is more art based/museum style but she wanted to be a product designer but she mentioned she did not have the knowledge.
What I did enjoy was when she was discussing client work and how you have to make compromises, as there is always more than likely a problem with the design but she said make sure you keep what makes the piece special.
She discussed customer feedback on her work and how by listening to them she changes or adapts her work to suit them for example she created a black and white butterfly lamp but after feedback she decided to create a pink one.
