Design Mantra
In agreeance with the famous multi-disciplinary product designer, Dieter Rams, I believe:
Design should be innovative, useful, aesthetically pleasing, understandable, unobtrusive, honest, long-lasting, thorough, responsible, and as little design as possible.
Specifically to my career and industry, I have learned that agencies and industries often divide design and web development. No matter what it is, color, code, words, lines, images, visual movement, or advertising – solving problems is design, and I believe with thorough research, thoughtful experience and knowledge, storied understanding, open discussion, and wide-eyed exploration, we can solve anything.
Indeed, anything can be possible if we put the work in, rather than simply sit at our desks and work the clock.
