My Five-Point Plan for Doing Projects
Seven minutes of the only advice on creativity you'll ever need.
I have over two decades of graphic design experience across print and digital. My specialty is bringing humanity and personality to a project with voice, elegance, and intelligence. I like creating order out of confusion, clarity where there was none, and communication where once there was merely information. I believe in taking the long view while attending to the details. In any project, I strive to cut to the heart of the matter and uncover first principles.
