I am a great admirer of innovation and creativity. The mind is a wondrous thing. I am a strong believer that there is creativity in everybody.
You may disagree but I feel that designers are essentially problem solvers with design skills. On a daily basis we all use our minds to solve problems. From a simple thing like organizing our time constructively, to putting together that Ikea table you purchased a few weeks ago....we are all solving problems on a daily basis.
On a bitterly cold March evening I bumped into a very intuitive, creative young man. He goes by that name of Richie D'rell. A music producer by day and a bike builder by night.
Richie took it upon himself to build his own low rider bike. Constructed from what seemed to be different motorbike parts and other cycle spares, Richie's bike received a lot of attention, even during our five minute conversation. Passers by looked in awe, and you could tell what they were thinking. "I WANT ONE!"
Although the bike is not completed it put a smile on my face and many others.
From what Richie was saying, he has huge plans for the bike. Lets see what comes of his creativity.
More on Richie later!
