STATEMENT OF ART:
My thoughts on well-executed design…

Creating items that people want to use – again and again
Which doesn’t create a superficial need that only lasts for a brief moment

Creates relationships
It’s both functional and aesthetic
Function and form
Communicates effectively
It’s discreet
It’s useful for human beings
It’s ethical
It’s sustainable
Reflects social responsibility
