self testimonies
Proclaiming the full potential of design within any space is one of many of Tania’s self testimonies…
‘I am all about the sentiment of design. That is, the emotional state and contentment we feel when a space works or is right for us.’
‘We all have that ‘thing’ that makes us tick or feel satisfied. Helping client’s achieve that ultimate feeling of sensation and recognising that each project is uniquely different is what’s important in any working partnership.’
‘Meeting new clients is very much aligned to establishing new friendships whereby getting to know one’s core values, their likes & dislikes is the nucleus or essence of building any relationship.’
‘Having a sound knowledge in technical detailing has given me the tools to be proactive in design to overcoming challenges I may face. I like to be challenged. It’s what drives me. Every problem has a solution and I thrive on solving it! ‘
‘When I present design, I recognise that it’s emotion that I am presenting, and not just typical shapes with pretty colours. Sharing that feeling of ‘design ecstasy’ is the core essence of my business and motivation behind what I do.’
