DESIGN?
Thoughts solve problems. Art inspires possibilities. Design empowers action.
In an endless sea of problems and possibilites threading between
them is the key. Each are a point of view that combine to share momentum
and create direction. Collaboration between the two perspectives leads to
something greater than the sum of their parts.
I believe good design does more than enable a utility or inspire an idea. Good
design empowers the individual with both. It adapts to and augments intent
rather than dictate it. Good design maximizes the good in life. Good design moves us forward.
