I take pictures of signswhen I walk around downtown. I take a sketchbook, a camera, and anandroid tablet everywhere. In those pages, pictures, and files are mycritiques of the world around me. There are words in pencil and inkand sketches. There are photos of random shapes and textures. There are bookmarks and notes of all of the designs and shapes that inspireme and repulse me and everything in between. I plan and analyze. I create mock-ups to determine why some designs work and others don't.That's the way I approach each project...meticulously and with a fresh perspective. hide
