Strategy: Leverage the Use of Your Design Tools

by Maria Lorena Lehman

Image Strategies

Architecture Drawing

Featured Image Takeaway Design Strategy:

Use digital media as a tool to experiment with new forms, as well as their assembly. Then, see them from various perspectives as they morph through space. Be careful not to limit your design’s potential because of the digital tools you use. If there is a particular innovative design idea that you have — find a way to do it.

To Apply This Strategy, Ask Yourself:

WHAT TOOL SHOULD I USE TO EXPLORE MY DESIGN IDEA? … VERSUS… WHAT DESIGN IDEA THAT I HAVE WILL FIT INSIDE OF WHAT THIS TOOL CAN DO?

CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION


If this essay stirred a question, illuminated an idea, or touched something deeper in your own creative journey, I invite you to continue the conversation.


Each month, I reserve a small number of private one-on-one conversations for readers seeking thoughtful guidance and deeper dialogue around creativity, architecture, music, meaning, purpose, or the work they feel called to bring into the world.


These are not coaching sessions, business consultations, or productivity workshops. They are dedicated spaces for reflection, creative guidance, intellectual exploration, and discerning what comes next.


People often bring:


• A creative project or new venture

• Questions of purpose and calling

• Architecture, art, music, or writing pursuits

• Career transitions and life crossroads

• Ideas they wish to develop more deeply

• Simply a desire for meaningful conversation


Whether you are an artist, designer, architect, composer, writer, educator, founder, student, or lifelong learner, our conversation will be shaped around what matters most to you.


A thoughtful exchange of ideas, questions, and possibilities.

Limited availability each month.


Warmly,
