victor salman’s Summary
The question “what kind of designer are you?” doesn’t quite make sense to us. When we look at the product a designer does, we evaluate the work based on the concept, aesthetic and functional qualities and not by the educational background or specialty, “label”, of the person.
And from our point of view, people that accept or reject something based on the label of it’s maker, are not willing to break the molds!
victor salman’s Specialties:
Narrowing Design down to a single type of product or field is not the right way to approach it and we think that a collaboration of skills will give the individual designer a wider view and possibilities and these will be very valuable for him and the client. Anyone who communicates their concept through their product is a designer, independently from the medium used or the type of design you are trained in.

Multi-Disciplinary Designer/Creative Director
DECAF
(Design industry)
January 2008 — Present (1 year 7 months)
DECAF is a group of designers, who believe that the talent of a designer shouldn't be limited to their area of expertise, and shouldn't be labeled according to his/her studies. A designer is able to expand his/her skills into other areas of design.
That’s why by joining our skills we give the individual designer a wider scope, freedom and possibilities and with this collaboration we will have a much richer product that includes different points of view.
Design is moving away from consumer use and production and get closer to museum pieces and art. Its good to have a concept but the designed object should be rather a product than a story. A designed product should be always in favor of the user. Off course a design should start with a strong concept, but the product is the goal and not only serve a artistic purpose -
