Home > Designer Interviews > Pearlstige |
Editor Frank Scott (FS) from DesignPRWire has interviewed designer Pearlstige (P) for A’ Design Award and Competition. You can access the full profile of Pearlstige 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?
P: Despite not having a professional design background, I am still passionate about jewelry design and hope to convey positive energy through my designs - the infinite possibilities of life.
FS: Can you tell us more about your company / design studio?
P: PEARLSTIGE, founded in 2021, is a pearl design brand originating from China. The brand name PEARLSTIGE comes from a combination of Pearl and Prestige. We wrote Pearl into the brand name because it is the source of our creativity and passion. The interpretation of pearls has been stagnant for too long. PEARLSTIGE hopes to reinterpret pearls through design, rebuild the connection between pearls and contemporary women's lives and emotions, and make them suitable for modern life aesthetics and values. PEARLSTIGE hopes to accompany them on the path of "achieving oneself and shining on others" like pearls, just like the brand mission: "achieving oneself and shining on others Shine From Within."
FS: What is "design" for you?
P: Design is a way of life, and unconsciously, design has been integrated into life.
FS: What kinds of works do you like designing most?
P: Jewelry category.
FS: What is your most favorite design, could you please tell more about it?
P: iPhones, because they have changed how humans live, are a design work that is not only from an emotional perspective but also from a rational technological perspective.
FS: What was the first thing you designed for a company?
P: The crescent earrings were my first design when I joined the company.
FS: When do you feel the most creative?
P: Usually late at night.
FS: Which aspects of a design do you focus more during designing?
P: The balance between feasibility and creativity in design.
FS: What kind of emotions do you feel when you design?
P: Passion is the main focus of design in the early stages, while rationality is the main focus in the later stages.
FS: What kind of emotions do you feel when your designs are realized?
P: A sense of achievement, as if giving birth to a life.
FS: What makes a design successful?
P: Innovation, craftsmanship, and sufficient material support.
FS: When judging a design as good or bad, which aspects do you consider first?
P: We will first consider whether the initial design goals have been achieved.
FS: From your point of view, what are the responsibilities of a designer for society and environment?
P: We should protect the environment, use more recyclable materials, and minimize environmental pollution during the process stage. Design works should have positive energy.
FS: How do you think the "design field" is evolving? What is the future of design?
P: With the development of technology and the intervention of AI intelligence, designers face more challenges, but there will also be a group of excellent designers who survive.
FS: When was your last exhibition and where was it? And when do you want to hold your next exhibition?
P: The Hainan Consumer Expo in 2023.
FS: Where does the design inspiration for your works come from? How do you feed your creativity? What are your sources of inspirations?
P: Design inspiration always comes from life, and constantly trying new things is the secret to my creativity.
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?
P: Elegance and delicacy are the main design styles, and more different styles will be tried according to different series, such as modern simplicity.
FS: What are your suggestions to companies for working with a designer? How can companies select a good designer?
P: Enterprises and designers need to maintain consistency in aesthetics and values. Their relationship is a continuous process of adaptation. There is no perfect designer who is naturally suitable for a particular enterprise, and excellent designers constantly grow through cooperation with the enterprise.
FS: Can you talk a little about your design process?
P: At the initial stage, we will extensively collect all relevant materials that can bring inspiration. At the middle stage, we will screen and sort out the materials, enter the design stage, and at the later stage, we will continue to do subtraction. The whole is like a funnel, constantly concentrating the essence.
FS: Could you please share some pearls of wisdom for young designers? What are your suggestions to young, up and coming designers?
P: Designers need to maintain consistent enthusiasm and patience. The entire design process starts with emotional creation and ends with rational completion. Therefore, without sufficient psychological preparation, it will be eliminated entirely in this cycle of work.
FS: From your perspective, what would you say are some positives and negatives of being a designer?
P: Advantages: Designers help solve problems, while jewelry designers help more people decorate their bodies with designs.
FS: What is your "golden rule" in design?
P: There is no fixed golden rule.
FS: What skills are most important for a designer?
P: Maintain curiosity about the surroundings.
FS: Which tools do you use during design? What is inside your toolbox? Such as software, application, hardware, books, sources of inspiration etc.?
P: Compared to traditional pens and paper, Adobe series software will be used later on.
FS: Designing can sometimes be a really time consuming task, how do you manage your time?
P: Try to spare the entire time to think, and if necessary, you can imagine sketches in your mind.
FS: Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to interview you.
