Design Manifesto 2020

As an artist, I express myself through what I create. And as a designer, I live and breathe a world of visuals and communication. From typography in magazines to information design in social community projects, designers create and grow in a never-ending cycle that feeds itself if done well.

I aim to live a life where I can create things that inspire others while using that as a vehicle for my own personal and professional growth. While I was no expert while writing this, there are a few fundamental things that I do that keep me inspired and that sustain my own development.

1. Share what you know
2. Learn through play
3. Create for yourself first
4. Grow in public
5. Process before outcome
6. Own your own
7. Stepping stones
8. Know yourself

My manifesto is a narrative of these things for record and further review down the road. If you want to read more about each one and why these are my fundamental tenets, you can do so via my website available through my profile.
