Mette Kargo Hvid



Mette Kargo Hvid"My initial inspiration often springs from a story, an object, an expression, an action, a detail - things that spark my spontaneity, passion and curiosity. I try to never think rationally; rather create a process founded on intuition, experimentation and personal development. For me, outlining the design involves a multiplicity of visual registration, notes, quotes and objects - things that help me define the framework for my concept. My idea only begins to take shape when I start working with the actual material - because this is where you always encounter the unexpected things that can be of significance in further developing the idea. My vision is to always ask questions and challenge my professional competencies."
