Why am I a designer?
Because I enjoy communicating visually and finding simple solutions for complex problems.
Why do I think design is important?
Good design can trigger a pleasant experience, and provide comfort and direction in the most extreme scenarios.
What do I think makes me weird?
I have been an optimist since the day I was born, and will find value in even the most chaotic of situations.
Why should you hire me before someone else?
I believe design requires an honest and open approach—There are no shortcuts, and both the designer and client need to have an understanding of the problem they are solving.
