It's apparent in Warner’s practice there is an array of influences from Brian Sadgrove's minimal and playful designs. Architecture's use of layers with materials to produce a subtle interest and art which express emotion to support the information that she's presenting.
Her process of developing any idea starts with understanding her commission; listening and asking questions to find out what her clients need. After this interaction, she states that she gets a “‘gut reaction’ to the problem.” (Lynda Warner, 2019) sending Warner on a journey of solution-seeking, importantly working within the budget constraints set by the client.
After finding her solution she spends time refining, saying “I find all good design is about crafting and refining. I love paring away a design back to its essence so that the message is clear and immediate.” (Lynda Warner, 2019)
