stir

Stir is a means of awakening the senses and the creative process.

We experience the world first through our physical body and our senses. Sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch work together to allow us to perceive and make sense of our surroundings. Sensation informs our reality. Only when the physiological systems of our body are stimulated are we able to participate fully in human experiences.

For my first time out of the country, I could not have asked for a more memorable experience that I was able to share with other designers. After visiting Copenhagen, my senses are more aware of the design that surrounds me every day.
