-Objective-
To visually manifest the inspirations and design ideas of myself and others. To bring a sense of realism to those far out ideas and to push the ideas which haven't yet been realized. To design with a style which can only be described as a melting pot. To bring qualities of function and aesthetics of beauty to the same keel. To be a profound, conscious, and purposeful designer
