Design
Art runs in my family: architects, industrial designers, photographers, and videographers.
I love clean designs. There is beauty in white space and good hierarchy.
A thing should be pleasant to look at and be fully functional. Animations and move should be subtle and helpful if possible.
What is the point of a computer system if the interface is a mystery?
My apologies for lack of portfolio. A lot of work I've done is either private and internal to companies or the public facing stuff has been refreshed since I touched it last.
