“Artist. I want to be an artist when I grow up.”
I wrote that when I was five and it has remained my personal mission statement for more than two decades. However, until I “grow up,” I will still create art and use my skills to a productive end.
For me, graphic design is flourishing within constraints. In fact, good design leverages the constraints such that they become the fundamental structure on which the piece exists. I view every design assignment as a problem I can solve with creativity and effort.
