Design is vital to everyone and everything around us; from the processes we use to the tools we interact with in our daily lives.  My approach in design concentrates in balancing the right amount of functionality and aesthetics, depending on the use and user of the end product.  I take into consideration different design philosophies and movements, merging them together to establish the desired effect and the ideal solution for the specific design challenge. Through design, one can make a positive impact to the consumer's quality of life and improve the human development index in the long term.
