Welcome to ThinkSpace!

Welcome to ThinkSpace, the genesis of creativity, the incubator of ideas, and the heartbeat of our design journey at Mertz Design Studio.

As we embark on this exciting venture, we invite you to step into our world—a world where the design process begins, where research and exploration fuel innovation, and where the community plays a pivotal role. 

 

At the core of our design philosophy lies the belief that every exceptional design comes from a foundation of thoughtful contemplation and meticulous exploration. The thinking stage is our compass, guiding us through uncharted territories, igniting our curiosity, and propelling us towards innovative solutions. And now, we're thrilled to extend this voyage beyond our studio walls to embrace the community's diverse perspectives. 

What exactly is the Think Space?

Inside our studio, we have the MakeSpace, which is where we build prototypes and iterate on physical concepts with our clients. But ThinkSpace is not a physical place; it's a mindset—a realm where ideas flourish, where problems are puzzles waiting to be solved, and where collaboration breeds brilliance. It's where our designers immerse themselves in the art of research, diving deep into the nuances of a project, understanding its essence, unraveling its complexities, and extracting inspiration from unexpected sources. 

 

Research isn't confined to textbooks and websites; it's a multi-faceted expedition that transcends boundaries. It's observing the world around us, engaging with different cultures, studying human behavior, and delving into the past to shape the future. This exploration fuels our creativity, infusing our designs with authenticity and depth. 

ThinkSpace isn't an exclusive club reserved for us alone.

It's an open invitation to the community—a platform where collaboration thrives. We believe that diversity fosters innovation, and your insights, experiences, and unique perspectives enrich our creative process. Whether you're a fellow designer, an industry expert, a client, or an enthusiast passionate about design, your input is invaluable. 

 

This blog marks our first step in this exciting expansion of the ThinkSpace.

Through this digital canvas, we aim to share our experiences, insights, and discoveries. Expect to delve into the world of design thinking, witness the birth of ideas, explore case studies, and embark on journeys through different design realms. We want to ignite conversations, spark inspiration, and foster a vibrant community where knowledge flows freely. 

 

But it doesn't end here. The ThinkSpace is a dynamic entity, ever evolving and responsive. We're eager to hear from you—your thoughts, your challenges, your victories. Together, let's create a hub of innovation where the exchange of ideas knows no bounds. 

 

As we navigate the uncharted waters of design, let's embark on this exhilarating voyage together. The ThinkSpace is where the seeds of imagination are sown, nurtured, and cultivated into designs that transcend the ordinary and redefine the extraordinary. 

 

So, dear reader, welcome aboard. Let's explore, ideate, and create within this limitless realm—the ThinkSpace awaits, ready to shape the future of design, one idea at a time. 

 

Stay tuned for an inspiring journey ahead!
