I live design. I live typography and layout. In all aspects of my life theses things drive me. I love the struggle of finding the the right placement and balance to create space, and to use it to it's fullest advantage. I have been given the gift of eye-balling and the power of attention to detail. I eat deadlines and pressure for breakfast.
