Cultural Influences: I try to keep most of my influences at a safe distance rather than letting them influence me directly. Although, I find myself being seduced by the bright lights and color of a big city, music, travel and the crowd at a major league baseball game.Environment: It really depends on the job. During the day I am inside an office, in the evenings and at night, it is wherever I feel the most creative at that specific time.Philosophy: A tremendous amount of respect for color, typography, forms, the simplicity of design as well as the detail and the opinions of my peers.
