“The characteristic that makes all designers unique is their capacity to balance the head, heart, and hand, which are driven by inspiration, creativity, and thoughtfulness.”

— Richard Grefé

From childhood, I am reminded of the many trinkets strategically placed on each shelf in my bedroom. Friends and family would intentionally enter the room and rearrange the tsotchkes. Having valued neatness above cleanliness, the halo of dust would help me put each item back in its appropriate spot. If an item was out of place, my life felt unsettled. Only when the possession was back in its intended position would I be at ease. Similar to the objects in my bedroom are the elements I use as a graphic designer to create an appropriate form that communicates visually to an audience. 

“Choose your corner, pick away at it carefully, intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world.”

— Charles Eames
