My philosophy is simple:
I create what you would have if you had the time and/or skillset.
Many clients have been amazed that I've been able to execute a design that is exactly what they are looking for, even when they weren't able to express it in words.
I work intuitively, by fully understanding what you're looking for and then giving you that. I'm not about imposing my brilliance on you. I will certainly offer ideas, but it is YOUR design and I understand, respect and fully support you.
