"The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together: our virtues would be proud, if our faults whipped them not; and our crimes would despair, if not cherished by our virtues."
All's Well That Ends Well, by Wm. Shakespeare
about:
manifest
I believe that different disciplines nourish one another, that ideas come from many sources, and that design exists as a narrative to connect business goals with an audience. In all cases, I endeavor to understand that audience and craft narratives that engage them, in service of those goals.
In short...
I adapt my design style to fit brand, not the other way around.
