About Aija Freimane : Humans and continuity as sustainability, empathy and senses are central to my everyday being and are the subjects of the research for design. I have a multi-contextual educational and professional background, and experience, thinking, interest and understanding. For a long time, I was curious about what is behind such a widespread professional assumption as ‘design adds value’. If that is so, we, as humans, should feel it in our everyday lives. STATEMENT OF ART:Design is a method of identifying a real need and provides solutions that result in happiness and satisfaction.
