CLOSING THOUGHTS
Throughout my time studying and practicing art/design, three main ideas have continuously resurfaced and have proven to be true in each different facet of my life:
- When you put heart and hard work into something, it shows.
- The person who does the little things right the most, is bound for success.
- Everyone is a critic, but none of them are quite like the one seated between my ears.
PHILOSOPHY
For me, art has always been anything that makes me take a second glance. In any form - graphite, food, paint, sand charcoal, glass, people - if I am provoked to take a second glance, that's art.
Some say that art and design are two completely different entities, while others argue just the opposite. I'm not here to debate.
My approach remains constant:
I create for the second glance.
APPROACH
The attentiveness to detail that art and design beg for is what captivated me from the beginning. It's finally getting those nuances - that you lose sleep over - just right, that make this industry so exciting.
I strive to leave mystery apparent in my work by utilizing simple illustrations and limited color palettes. Negative space is so important; I want my work to be able to breathe. Elements of a design that do not assist in pointing my audience to an answer only aid in confusion and clutter.
The world doesn't need to me to add to the confusion, so I pride myself on providing clarity. As a designer, it is my duty to bring the jumbled, misunderstood, and undefined ideas to life and make them worth taking the second glance.
