summary

I am a creative type with a fine arts and computer background. The three fundamental elements I base my designs on are balance, contrast and invisible lines. My designs are clean, structured and simple. I use crisp typography, an uncluttered layout, unified color choices, clear imagery, visual hierarchy, and a judicious amount of open space. Each design has a focus, an immediate clue as to what the design is about, this sets the tone for all of my designs.
