A Statement of Purpose

In my relatively short time as a professional designer I have already discovered a number of truths that have influenced my outlook on the profession. Over the past few years I have learned more about design and myself than I ever thought I would. I have gained an understanding of the world that would not otherwise be possible if not for my relentless pursuit to question everything and everyone.

As a child I was constantly being told that I asked too many questions. I believe it is this naturally inquisitive behavior that has allowed me to achieve my success thus far. As a designer it is this desire to question that allows me to think differently and find creative solutions that both surprise and delight the client. It is this inquisitive nature that allows designers to innovate and make the world a better place.

Design is a worthwhile business decision, however it can only hope to be truly be successful when it is adopted at a strategic level, permeating every aspect of the experience. When approaching a project I attempt to design not a deliverable, but a system of design that can be adapted to reflect the company and help shape the brand experience. This includes working with other professionals in related disciplines to ensure that all aspects of the project are in harmony of both message and style.

Finally, I believe in using the means of production to produce self-initiated projects. Whether for the common good or personal enrichment, these projects allow for the development of creative abilities not possible while constrained by clients, budgets or timelines.
