My Methodology
My own approach to methodology is very narrow. I tend to have a set general outcome in my mind before even researching. This causes my research to be very specific but also not as broad as I believe it should be. I tend to not stop research when I believe it is not as very appropriate. I believe I should research broader and let my research influence my practice instead of the other way around. My design decisions are often influenced by my research or through thought process, but not to an extent that really reinforces the design. The aesthetic, content and tone of voice is influenced by my research. My research is almost solely desk research, although I do conduct undocumented observational research. I should document this as it an often get forgotten and thus not analysed in depth.

'works shows an acute sense of detail and style'
'research has been somewhat limited'
