Introduction
I believe constraint does not mean compromise. Compromise ignores any relevant constraints thereby limiting design or even misdirecting it completely. Staying goal oriented and keeping the end state in mind has guided me as a designer. I am multi-talented, enthusiastic and eager to think outside the box.
