Abstract
The artist's statement: As a designer, I am constantly influenced by the current media in our ever shifting world. I am a firm believer in simplicity within storytelling, and how to convey a message as quickly as possible to the viewer. I am constantly striving forward with how to better create meaningful interactions with the viewer and the design. Complexity does not always equal better, and I fight against the narrative that things must have many moving parts to be good. My work represents how I've learned to interact with the world. In a single given day, someone might make hundreds of different choices. When I design, I design to make that choice the right one. I believe good design is appreciated, due to how it affirms the choices we make in a day. I want to make a lasting impression within the initial moment someone picks up my work. I believe design has the same power of art, to move, influence, and change someone's life for the better. I strive to make my work a combination of the client's needs and vision with my style. Communication is key, and I am constantly looking forward towards the next step in any process, as long as the client is there with me. I've learned that design is a very social project, which requires inputs from everyone to make it work. Creativity stems from collaboration, and when I work with others I strive to make the outcome with a piece of everyone involved.
