Goals

Goal Statement | 2011

My hope is to find a home which fosters the ability to grow as a designer and learn new approaches
to design theory and software. I have an interest in new technologies as well as timeless design principles.

My hope is to gain enough experience to someday create my own consultancy as well as teach what
I have learned at a college level. Most importantly though, I hope to build a positive
and healthy outlook on life and work.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and view my work.
