jeff linn [design strengths]

when asked to discuss the strengths of another classmate, i chose to talk to jeff linn. he told me he was good at bridging the gap between aesthetics and function with his designs. it is easy to design something purely aesthetic or purely functional, but a satisfactory balance is not as easily attained. thinking about jeff's work throughout the past semesters i find that i agree with strength. in our foods lab project last semester he created a healthy balance between the two. he found creative ways to solve spatial dilemmas while also creating an interesting and stylish interior. this is an important skill for any designer to possess. having knowledge of precedents that handle problems successfully and being open to unexpected sources of inspiration will help me also achieve the same success.
