Graphic design will save the world right after rock and roll does.
David Carson -
There is no design without discipline. There is no discipline without intelligence.

Whenever I have an idea I write it down, even if it’s not a very good idea. Sometimes the bad ideas will lead to better ones.

Design is an opportunity to continue telling the story, not just to sum everything up.

Lightbulb moments.
I strive to think more creatively and gather stronger ideas – have more of those, “light-bulb” moments. I gather, pour-over and percolate information until an idea forms.
Gorgeous on all devices.
I do responsive all-day! – while people are shifting the way they surf the web, and now that the web has become the primary way that customers get information about your products and services, it is crucial that your website stays in sync with web surfing trends. .
