Great design takes continual experimentation and a lifetime commitment to learning. It just also happens to be pretty damn fun. I love smart design, when a designer takes a complex idea and turns it into a simple message that reaches its audience. Most of all I love to be around motivated people. When problems can be tackled at different angles, impossible amazing things can happen.
