FS: Could you please tell us about your experience as a designer, artist, architect or creator?
SWZ: For the past 15 years I create with the acknowledgment that good design and art can change people’s perspectives and open one’s mind and heart. I had the privilege to work with some great establishments (such as the “Pain and Suffering” international research and Google, to name a few) with leading objectives to make the world a much better place. I aim to make sure that every creation of mine will be created from my most truthful and honest emotions and thoughts- hoping to touch the viewers heart and to open some minds.
FS: How did you become a designer?
SWZ: I think it actually came to my doorstep People came to ask for my work and point of view. For the past 15 years I educated myself with great hunger and passion to create good and to bring out good. In each and every creation I try to be better and to reach out to more hearts.
FS: What are your priorities, technique and style when designing?
SWZ: It always starts from a personal feeling or emotions that I can translate to something larger in our humankind behaviour. Then I simplify the idea to abstraction. The abstract becomes the statement. The next step will be to make some technique decisions and to pursue for the right materials.
FS: Which emotions do you feel when designing?
SWZ: Everything from frustration to the strive to output the idea, through bursts of energy and happiness.
FS: What particular aspects of your background shaped you as a designer?
SWZ: My mother is an artist, I grew up with the education of colours and expression, my very first memory as a child is about colour and the smell of ink.
FS: What is your growth path? What are your future plans? What is your dream design project?
SWZ: I believe that creating in larger mediums and reaching out to more viewers through art galleries and museums is my next step.
FS: What are your advices to designers who are at the beginning of their career?
SWZ: Make sure to create good design and to aspire that your next creation will be better. Strive for a change and to make a difference.
FS: How do you keep up with latest design trends? To what extent do design trends matter?
SWZ: I try to keep up with the trends but still to be loyal to my truth.
FS: How do you know if a product or project is well designed? How do you define good design?
SWZ: Good design is something to think about, something to remember. It stays in your thoughts for a while. Hopefully it might change the way you believe things must look or feel (un-expected texture for example )
FS: How do you decide if your design is ready?
SWZ: I know it’s done when I feel there is nothing to add, sometimes I force changes and its damaging the outcome
FS: Would you tell us a bit about your lifestyle and culture?
SWZ: Music is my inspiration, lyrics and words contributes to the muse and ideas. I think that being an Israeli artist is making me very forward with my ideas and sub-texts. I am proud to take inspirations from all religions and to believe mainly in humankind and humanism. I self study different philosophical approaches to enrich my ideas and work.Design and art is about human and life. I make sure to remember that.
FS: Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to interview you.
