I <3 design. I love those great products that just make sense. Those little details that make the whole thing worth it. Simple and beautiful. Form, function and usability. Design is not just an outcome. It is not the final result. Design is the experience, the process, the exploration along the way. Mistakes make it worth it. If you're not screwing up, you're not learning. I love problem solving, and helping others find unique solutions to their challenges. I enjoy teaching and sharing the process along the way. There is nothing quite like that aha moment, when it clicks in a student's head, and you can see in their eyes that they understand not just the current state, but why their path has lead them there, and where the next steps will take them. The same can be said for an end-user of a product, that smile and nod that comes from their innate understanding of what is in their hands. I'm a very hands-on kindofa guy. I think with my hands, I tinker, I pull apart, I rebuild. I'm a doer. There are always several ways to solve a problem--just gotta' flex that mental muscle. Jon Jowers
"It is not enough to teach man a speciality. Through it he may become a kind of useful machine but not a harmoniously developed personality. It is essential that the student acquire an understanding of and a lively feeling for values. He must acquire a vivid sense of the beautiful and of the morally good. Otherwise he--with his specialized knowledge--more closely resembles a well trained dog than a harmoniously developed person. He must learn to understand the motives of human beings, their illusions, and their sufferings in order to acquire a proper relationship to individual fellowmen and to the community."
