About Me

To find things out for one's self.
The goal is to explore, discover, create, and confront completely uninhibited. When there are no barriers, there is no need for explainations. Only expression is left.
the empirical study bridges the gap between art, design, music, poetry, and all other creative ventures of graphic designer and musician, Ky Williams (that's me...). Music and sounds posted on this profile are written, produced, and created with the intention of experimentation, gaining musical independence, opening minds, and as an outlet, of sorts.
Artwork can be found in the photo albums. Interesting factoids and random poetry can be found in the blog section.
Graphic Design.
Effective design always communicates an idea. That's why emphasis is put on working closely with clients to understand exactly what they want to say. Art is a commercially viable commodity, and helps to show that you mean business.
The way you portray any venture, be it a law firm or an indie band, gives you a competitive edge. Send me a project, large or small, and I will find a visual solution. And it will be pretty darn stylish, too.
