Often times, a brand can find that while they have a deep and loyal fan base, they also have people who misunderstand or are not attracted to their product. Over time, a brand in this position can find future growth and expansion threatened if the loyal fans slowly become outnumbered by the indifferent or disgruntled customers. If the things that the loyal fans found so appealing are not transferred or made relevant to the younger generation, the brand will weaken and become extinct or simply remain as representative of an bygone era.
The following is a brief research foray into brands and companies to understand how those brands may have worked through various challenges in order to grow and expand. This was part of our work for a client in a similar brand position.
An overview of the maker movement and craft trend, from the origins and William Morris, all the way to Etsy, education philosophies, and food trends. Also includes thoughts on how to incorporate the hand-crafting and the maker mentality into design projects.

Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far. Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors. From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.
2. MEMPHIS
was a Milan-based collective of
young furniture and designers
led by Ettore Sottsass.
After its 1981 debut, Memphis
dominated the early 1980’s design
scene with its post-modernist style.
Memphis incited designers of
everyday objects to break away
from clean-cut mainstream modern
European design.
3. “You were
either for it, or
against it. All
the boring old
designers hated
it. The rest of us
loved it.”
Bill Moggridge, co-founder of the
IDEO industrial design group
4. They drew inspiration from such
movements as Art Deco and Pop Art,
styles such as the 1950’s Kitsch and
futuristic themes.
Characteristics include vivid colors,
geometric patterns, abstract shapes,
and unconventional materials.
5. The Memphis Milano Movement began in Italy in 1981, but it
DEFINED THE “80’s LOOK”
in the United States for the following decade.
