For some reason I am desiring to be more creative but yet responsible. A lot of styles I have accumulated over the past 3 years have had emphasis on creativity, which is good. But I really see now a necessity to learn a new way or to help create a new sustainable and responsible approach to design.

Sometimes I read about the stories of those older and have passed that influence me like Paul Rand, Dieter Rams, Wim Crouwel, Donald Norman and others and wonder how they were able to produce such amazing, practical time-less pieces that still cause creative professionals as me to marvel even today.

I feel as if I desire to take everything I do seriously looking at the work those before me have done. I always wondered what differentiated their creative minds apart from my mind, and how I can create something that can in some way change or help the world as their designs did.

I see my work in some way as being responsible to humanity. I see responsible design as something that can impact peoples lives for good, and help them to leave feeling that the design fits them, for each unique person.
