Allways on the way to f ind different points of view in a concept.
I agree to Paul Arden’s idea - “ Whatever you think - think the opposite!”
I l ike to play with people habits, their ever y day rutine and casual ity - nice subject to play with,
change or even break it .
Interested in product design as a communicator between concept idea and product user. I t is
interesting, how people take things differently. I t inspires me to communicate with them in specif ic
way - one of the reasons to make a product for some special audience.

For all the new designers, that are for them worth marking out, had the magazine „Pastaiga” three questions:
1. What is, in your opinion, design and a designer?2. What are the career passibilities for a designer in Latvia?3. What is the highest goal of your career and your professional ideal?
Baiba Linga Bērziņa, born 1982, product and graphic designerThere has been a lot of talking about the search of the roots and the future of the Latvian design in the past and the ethnography. Baiba Linga-Bērziņa right now is the one, who has realized this well thought ideas most successfully. Her most noticable achievement is a series of candles, in which latvian ethnographic signs are integrated with elegance and they are up-to-date. In the creative CV of Baiba there are also other clever solutions of everyday situations with the help of design: an unusual pillow with a face on it, a sitting ring as an alternative to a chair in the open air and others.More information: http://www.baibalingaberzina.lv/
1. Design is the altruistic observation of the human everyday-life. The meaning of the word design is extending with every day, it becomes more harder to de�ne and harness it. For me design as such and creating it is a intelectual and emotional game of wit. During the game a subject is created, that can change a humans life by improving or destroying it. A designer is a participant of the game and the results as well as the consequences lay on his conscience.
2. A career in context with Latvia is said too loud. I would not like to sound pesimistic, but right now a career in Latvia is impossible. Often the work with a producer or a client brings one to selfviolation. Most pleasant and productive is it to create design prototypes in my own space and with my own money and to hope that one day they will �nd their place in the production and afterwards in the everyday life. The designer has to be not only the creator of a design product, but he has to become a business person, who can sell his ideas on the market. Right now is the time to create optimistic, utopian ideas, so that they can be ful�lled when the good times come. I hope that the complaints about the crisis will not be re�ected in the latvian design and that they will not lumber with us for centuries to come.
3. By using the overall confusion, it is necessary to do everything in ones power to get new knowledge. If necessary, you should even work without being paid, because I believe, that sooner or later it will pay o�. It is important to go abroad to hunt new impressions. Right now I’m collecting and re�ecting on my experience as a graphic designer in advertisment as well as cognitions of the teachers position at the Riga Design and Art School. My professional ideal would be to work in a designer union creating new products and ful�ll projects here, in Latvia. I would like to solve designer problems, not the �nancial ones.
