Home > Designer Interviews > Evgenia Dymkina |
Editor Frank Scott (FS) from DesignPRWire has interviewed designer Evgenia Dymkina (ED) for A’ Design Award and Competition. You can access the full profile of Evgenia Dymkina by clicking here.
FS: Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
ED: My first education is in Project management. After ten years of experience in marketing I decided to start from the very beginning. I completed the Interior Design education (International School of Design, Saint – Petersburg) and after that I was studying Interior Architecture and Product Design in C.A.D. in Brussels. The idea “to change my life all at once” is the part of design thinking.
FS: What is "design" for you?
ED: What I appreciate the most is the challenge of the new view of common things. I believe, I really believe that design may do our life better.
FS: What kinds of works do you like designing most?
ED: The projects, where there is space for scenography. It is like a Game – and this is what I like most in my life.
FS: What is your most favorite design, could you please tell more about it?
ED: I am always impressed by Nendo design because of the idea cleanness and simplicity.
FS: When do you feel the most creative?
ED: I feel the potential when there are some changes in my life. Stability is not the best friend for the creativity.
FS: Which aspects of a design do you focus more during designing?
ED: The unique concept.
FS: What makes a design successful?
ED: I would say - the concept. But in the reality it is the collaboration with the manufacturer, which drives success the most.
FS: When judging a design as good or bad, which aspects do you consider first?
ED: The idea is what is valued the most. Moreover, it is not about a product being more expensive - the idea is the real worth.
FS: How do you think the "design field" is evolving? What is the future of design?
ED: I am sure, the future design will be based on new kinds of materials and high technologies. Esthetics is fading into the background. It is a common tendency.
FS: How would you describe your design style? What made you explore more this style and what are the main characteristics of your style? What's your approach to design?
ED: I think I am always in never ending process of exploring myself. I value the simplicity and geometricity. I hope to find myself in social design. I am like a kid – I am sure that design makes our life better and has a power to change the mentality.
FS: Where do you live? Do you feel the cultural heritage of your country affects your designs? What are the pros and cons during designing as a result of living in your country?
ED: My native country is Russia and mentally I am Russian. Now I am living in Belgium and I am absorbing its life style, culture and values – all new for me. This relocation gives me an impulse to see new perspectives and new dimensions of confidence.
FS: How can people contact you?
ED: Please, by e-mail: eds.concepts@gmail.com
FS: Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to interview you.
