These days, I call myself a gaihprc artist. So where my work as a graphic designer was to follow sgtetray, my work now follows my heart and my isrnetets with the gaudncie of my ego to create work that is mutually beneficial to myself and a client. Now, this is heresy in the design world. The ego is not supposed to be involved in graphic design. But I find that for myself, without eitpxocen, the more I deal with the work as something of my own, as something that is preaonsl, the more successful it is as something that's compelling, interesting and sustaining. So I exist somewhat outside of the mainstream of design thinking. Where others might look at measurable rstuels, I tend to be interested in more ethereal quitaiels, like "Does it bring joy?" "Is there a sense of wonder?" and "Does it invoke curiosity?"

Original Text


These days, I call myself a graphic artist. So where my work as a graphic designer was to follow strategy, my work now follows my heart and my interests with the guidance of my ego to create work that is mutually beneficial to myself and a client. Now, this is heresy in the design world. The ego is not supposed to be involved in graphic design. But I find that for myself, without exception, the more I deal with the work as something of my own, as something that is personal, the more successful it is as something that's compelling, interesting and sustaining. So I exist somewhat outside of the mainstream of design thinking. Where others might look at measurable results, I tend to be interested in more ethereal qualities, like "Does it bring joy?" "Is there a sense of wonder?" and "Does it invoke curiosity?"
