Libby Watson - Realising her designs
When I first started designing I probably kept my designs very simple, because I didn't want to overstretch my capabilities. I wanted to be able to understand that everything I put on a piece of paper I could realise myself. Now I'm much more adventurous and I design things that I don't necessarily know how to realise and I'm relying on other people's expertise. Because its years ago now since I was a carpenter and times have changed; equipment is just better now and there's much more can be done. So I have to be more adventurous.
