Art Meets Technology

So, how are we going to do this, dear friend? How are we going to help these companies have the content they need, the usability and usefulness they need, to survive? And to make our lives more pleasant. More present. More designed. If you know anything about me, you know that I believe in art. I believe you’re art, and you’re in the world to produce great art. Art is the greatest human achievement. And our best products are the perfect pairing of art and science. The best of an industrial company, like Ford, JP Morgan Chase, Tesla happens when they marry art and science, creating a sort of magic that’s unusual, helpful, and inspiring. Does the world really need another design advice resource? Aren’t there already many out there, from Google Design, from Center Centre, from Udemy or Coursera? It’s true. But I haven’t seen any that have my unique perspective. So, if that perspective aligns with you, let’s work together and solve your problems, one at a time, through intelligent conversations, drawings, and the inspiration that only happens when great designers work together.
