I believe in multiplying our creative power through collaboration and teamwork. A lot of design activity, especially in the conceptual stage, is unplanned, intuitive and ad hoc. Designers

usually results in clever and innovative thinking that goes beyond the average. I believe that

working together can learn from one another and then combine their knowledge to devise wholly integrated design solutions.

I appreciate integrity and value honest criticism. I am fairly straightforward and enjoy when people I work with are too. Although honesty is not always seen as the best policy, I believe it makes people respect one another more and creates a working environment where cover ups

What is integrity? Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching.

Respect is earned. Honesty is appreciated. Trust is gained. Loyalty is returned.

I believe that good design is intuitive, simple and functional. I admire Scandinavian and

It is important to create constantly. I carry a notebook with me at all times, and blog daily. It

early morning hours are the most productive time of the day. I also try to split my day into two-
