I solve problems through design,
design has always interested me. As a kid, every school project all I cared about was the poster and presentation. I was always drawing or making something, constantly rearranging my room for maximum efficiency and "feng shui". The art and science of great design is my passion.
Something I learned in college and still hold true today is: good design starts with a blank canvas and every single thing done to shape it into its final form, must be done with purpose.
