I believe a designer’s process is always evolving.
My philosophy of design is very much rooted in the idea of “less is more.” This is not to imply that I am a minimalist, although I prefer design elements that carry multiple pertinent perspectives to the spectator.
A particular objective of the sound designer is to capitalize on the imaginative powers of each individual in the audience. The designer should have an understanding of all the potential meanings for a sound and appropriately use them to entice each mind in the audience into intellectual and emotional involvement with the production.
