Designer Thoughts 
"I believe simplification is a significant mean both in life generally, and in design. By simplifying we can focus on the essentials we experience, and share.

When we people look at or experience the same things, we see them differently- in as many ways as there are people present. By simplifying our own sights into images, we can find similarities, delight, and learn from each others. Simplification is a celebration of extraordinary essentials of creatures and experiences we face on our ways."
