Design Disrupted captures your attention as the author opens your mind to an intrinsic correlation between the human body and functional space! Design Disrupted brilliantly deconstructs the interior design process to help others understand the symbolism between body and space.

As my (Dawn Stafford) design career continues to grow, many people have asked me to create their design concepts for various reasons. The longer I have remained on this journey, the more I understand that the process consists more of them. While history, creativity, and imagination play a large part in the design process, much of it resembles teaching a toddler a new language while having them explore a world that is old to you but new to them. As a toddler is guided by education, interaction, language, and tactile stimuli, so are the design processes.

When we take a step back and look at ourselves, specifically our dress attire, we gain a fuller sense of the unique individual who lives within us. What begins to unfold from this conscious process is a dialogue of preferences and the ability to express. To optimize the way we understand, we must keep expanding the way we communicate. Design is a language.

Design Disrupted's primary goal is to equip the homeowner, fashionista, fashion, and interior designer with simple guidelines to effectively create an exquisitely designed interior space inspired by your body and personal fashion design decisions. The human body is broken down into sections equating to interior space to further understand the correlation. This book was conceived for a broad readership to be used as an action tool, reference manual to explore and experiment with your body, fashion and interior design themes.

Design principles and themes are illustrated with beautiful curated examples to explain the theory of how the body style and interior design intertwine-a compilation of design combinations and variations which will ignite the imagination and spawn ideas. The aim of successful interior design is to construct well-formed spaces through the masterful use of the body and personalized fashion design as a guideline. Design Disrupted connects your body and your space removing the interior design process's abstruseness.
