Ink + Oro Creatives

Personal

What do you love the most about your work?

The ever-changing focus and style of design based on the different typologies that we cover allows for constant creativity and evolution of ourselves as designers.

What was the most challenging time in your career, and how did you overcome it?

Growing a business through an economic crisis and building a strong leadership team.

Have you achieved everything you want in life?

We are happy with the state of the firm and couldn’t imagine the size and quality of design being produced and “everything” is a certain frame and mind in any time and place.

What dreams are you still lingering on to?

Expansion into West Coast

What makes you feel fulfilled professionally?

Quality culture and happy clients.

Projects

Are you working on anything new at the moment? What’s the inspiration behind what you working on at the moment?

We have 30+ new projects in the making, all with their own level of inspiration. Interestingly enough a new sector for us has been entering the office design market which requires a different degree of thoughtfulness and forward-thinking.

What would you say is the trend at the moment in the design world – creatively speaking?

Creating opportunities for Authentic collisions within the workplace and multi-family environments especially and the idea of using natural materials has been a trend but people have found ways to develop new products to better incorporate these materials.

How would you describe your client type? What do they do, what do they like, what projects are they involved in?

Our clients are anyone that likes to think outside the box and approaches their projects in a progressive manner. Our client’s value relationships and quality over getting things done quickly and with mediocre execution.

Any interesting collaborations in the future?

Nothing specific but we would love to collaborate on furniture, lighting, or textile line.

To Finalise

When it comes to craftsmanship, who do you think is leading the way?

We think the people that have the best level of craftsmanship are more of our custom vendors who are able to curate goods on an individual item quantity vs mass production. We also see them involved in the design strategy for developing the piece.
