MY FAVORITE THINGS
Every creative person has a bag of tricks. Here's mine: monochromatic tones, contrast, solid lines, alignment, grids, cleanliness, focal points, simplicity, power, humor, empathy, fun, high craftsmanship, attention to the details, and pure love for white space. Oh, and sandwiches.
WHAT'S IMPORTANT
When it comes to design, I judge success by the number of people positively touched by my work. Craftsmanship plays a big role, of course, but in the end I believe design should make people happy or, at the very least, not upset them. It can be hard to market and not annoy, but that's the point.
