Statement

Design is a process and a tool that can be applied to any problem. It teaches you a way of thinking that involves deep research, analysis, idea generation and ultimately how to make the best solution a reality. Design has a realistic optimism that allows the outrageous to become accessible and encourages fearless exploration.

I became a designer to have the tools needed to find the best solution to a problem. Whatever that problem may be.
