As you could probably guess, I have a tendency to lean toward the less=more philosophy of web design aesthetic. It is not necessarily a conscious philosophy, but one that comes about honestly and sincerely. Minimalism, whitespace, clutter-free environment - for me - lead to greater clarity and comprehension. In this type of environment, the attention to detail must be emphasized - and that's what drives my design. I did not study web design at university. I studied philosophy. And though the path I've taken toward professional design has not exactly been ordinary, it has been a path worth taking.
