I always use my travels to capture themes and ideas for upcoming jobs
A massive market is the natural clientele. Don't lose a sale because they think modern hardscapes are not suitable for their needs. I have learned to combine, soften and design with natural themes in mind. I take pictures, study and figure out how to pull it off. People who prefer natural hardscapes are great customers because you can't price natural by the square foot. So, I improvise. I give them natural but combine it with say wetcast. The results are stunning. I am traveling through Asia and studying cladding techniques with vertical stone. I learn and return to implement these ideas with my potential jobs. I market my experience with my design capabilities. Take a camera with you every where you go. Your next job theme is right in front of you at times. I learn constantly from shapes, texture and Mother Nature. Thankfully products made by Unilock make my sales so easy. Ie RiverCrest and Wetcast. Two perfect mediums.
