DESIGN PHILOSOPHY


Intentionality is Key. In all things, it is good to know why we do what we do. Every color combination, font style, and medium of advertising must have a purpose, and that purpose should be clear to the advertiser as well as the client. This is the driving force behind my design strategy.
