Define Space and Refine the Message.

An intelligent design relies heavily on a dynamic use of media in conjunction with a strong message. Subjectivity in design is relevant and a specialized designer helps to produce a more robust message by having a better understanding of the initial concept. With a nod to Constructivism I've utilized an applied art for my work as an artist and designer. I believe that art should communicate ideas and not live in an artificial world of the artist. Depicting the world as observed should not dictate design and without dynamic conceptualization there is no clear communicable message.

The Elements of Design

Fragmentation of line and abstractions of structure are often used during the execution of my concepts which have become trademarks of my design. The execution of my design and organization of these elements is enhanced by new forms of media and use of these tools. These tools become transparent and are seamlessly utilized to build my concepts. Forward thinking design is a combination of artist and engineer. The engineer is the basis from which creativity can thrive.
