Interview with Elena Whitermore
Designer of the Day Interview
1 May 2018
I studied as a fashion designer and was making cloths some years ago. Then I´ve got the education as a packaging designer and developer. Now I working on the leather goods factory where I make different types of prototypes to different companies.
I was born with a vision of beauty and hade no other choice but doing design in different ways. During all my design experience I was testing and working with different materials and choose the leather.
Any design should be possible to make in real. This is a main priority for me as I know how often designers think that good drawn design will be as good made of materials. But it is often not working out.
I feel myself alive.
The main aspect is it never worked ut anything.
Nearest time I´d like to reach the level of known designer and developer of leather goods and bags. So far this is it.
Do not give up. Believe in your work and give your 100% to each work you do.
Never think that you are a professional ( or truly successful) because work is always a study as well and you can not know everything even if you have worked many ears.
Work work work work workProjects, clients, orders, production
I´m looking Pinterest mostly and keep updated with last fashion trends.
Good design is always well done design. If you put your 100 on the projekt is can not be bad.
As I can not put anything more in that.
My biggest design work seems to in the future.
I do not have any.
To live i freedom is the style of my life. To tell what you want to tell, eat what you want to eat and be as you want to be. Free from religion, culture or something else.
I like to do everything myself. First. Just like that I can be cure what kind of work I will make other people go through. And how easy ( or not) it can be done.
I think that design now has so little connection with practical part an reality itself. Skeptical I`m to all this.
I is good for any designer to be seen and design competitions help a lot. A least now I can mention that I´m a winner when I promote myself and my design with support of A´Design Awards.

An active visualizing of the design and production makes 90% work done.
According The Drop bag, I believe that its minimalistic solution gives it a great touch.
As design is about visuals , the design has to be presented so other people can understand it. But artistic approach is good as well.

It is the way to communicate, express myself, present my vision.

It is important to always keep in mind what can be dine in design and what - can not. You can design anything beautiful on papper but coming to reality - it is not always possible to do.

A good design communicates and you get the message.
I think we as designer have to be careful with what we design and why we do it. Each and every design have a environmental aspest and the cost, so we need to be aware of it all the time.
Future design is digital. Les/ no real materials and resources used, and unlimited field for creations.
Sweden is a country that loves minimalism. I think my design of The Drop Bag expresses it.
I work with ordinary drawing tools, Adobe programs and CAD programs.
