By design
Simplicity. Clarity. Aesthetic functionality.
Reflected in words, illustrations, sculpture, work, lifestyle.
An ongoing process that touches every moment. Find the groove and each moment is an Aha! bathed in a golden glow. Lose it and the sun doesn't shine for an eternity. A mystery.
Where? In the soft glow of light flowing through well made shoji paper. In the words spilling out of a finely crafted sentence. In the cells of a spreadsheet. In wild grasses waving in the breeze. In the calmly alert ears of a red fox. In the clean design of a webpage.
