Summary
My studies were based on learning the basic principles of the Bauhaus tradition – the gute Gestalt – meaning a solid grid, structure and fine typography as the foundation of every piece of my work.
I’ve worked hard ever since on building logical and beautiful interfaces for everyday people because I firmly believe in the mantra that good design is invisible to the user — it just works.
