Design Statements (draft 1)

My relationship with creativity is fickle at best. But preconceived possibilities would ruin those amazing moments of inspiration. I strive for the feeling you get after stressful dead ends. That moment of accidental clarity is worth more than a thousand simple solutions. It's pure and honest creativity that speaks to me.

Not having a plan, is the best plan of all. I can enter a project with the best intentions, but it isn't until I've given up and defeated that the spark of originality saves me. Rarely do good ideas come easily. I like this challenge.  If great ideas came easier then they wouldn't be as coveted. They wouldn't seem great because of the lack of struggle. The work that goes into them, makes them breathe with a different air. They hold themselves higher and inspire people to view the world differently.
