The successful designer is a ghost.

When design is done properly, the structure, hierarchy, pathways, contrast, and balance all collapse into a singular transparent experience.

Listen.

Ask questions.

Understand the goal.

Create with intention.

Work with good people.

Do more than is required of you.

Give more than you take.

Contribute to those around you.

Infect others with your positivity.

Raise the bar at every opportunity.

Learn something today, use it tomorrow.

Accomplish something every day.

Make your deliverables.

Keep your word.
