Payne was a proponent of "vitalist-materialist" approaches to design. The Arch Out Loud web site stated: "A leading designer in his generation, his work of recent years is credited as being a major influence in pushing digital design and fabrication away from an undue focus on technique and process toward the explicit celebration of product, experience, affect and atmosphere. Payne is also known in the context of a group of Los Angeles designers committed to fabrication and construction, continuing that city's longstanding tradition of realized experimentation."
