daretoknow - have courage to use your own reason
Taken from German philosopher Immanuel Kant's essay 'What Is Enlightenment?' (www.english.upenn.edu) daretoknow is all about curiosity, critical engagement, open mindedness and integrity both when seeking inspiration and when creating work.
As a designer I seek to bring the elements above into my design practice and deliver well thought through, well designed and executed outcome of visual language.
By way of my unorthodox, though progressive education and my unusually open minded approach (informed by my different perspective as an 'International Londoner') I create distinctive and arresting ideas.
My approach to creative idea development is conceptually strategic, research driven and problem solving oriented.
I am currently Head of Design at Kids Company, a charity supporting vulnerable inner-city children in London.
“Whilst at Whynot, Miriam showed great motivation and worked well within our team. She skillfully managed the briefs given to her and showed great promise as a future designer. We would have no hesistation in recommending her to you on the basis of both attitude and ability”
