design philosophy:
Everything you need for great design surrounds you all the time; it's just a matter of identifying the problems, tapping into the appropriate resources, and knowing the proper tools to combine those resources in a clear and concise manner. I believe in adaptability and experimentation in order to stay relevant in a quickly changing ill-defined industry.
