Minimalism, clean lines and creativity. If you said these words to people who know me, they would probably say “Howard” straight away. Why? Simply because it is me. These words describe me and my passions. I love everything that is presented in a simple, neat and clean way. Let’s just say that I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I am allergic to dust and therefore declutter all the time. The minimalistic style of things truly impresses me and appeals to me like nothing else. It fascinates me how something very simple can be presented in so many unique ways and therefore have several meanings all depending on how we look at it and who looks at it. If we think about it, design can be interpreted in ways beyond imagination. By this I mean that something as simple as a line or dot can represent exactly what it is, or it can represent a metaphor for something completely unexpected. I love the saying “less is more” for this exact reason, and my creations are built on precisely this. Based on this I believe that a designer will never be fully grown, because there are no accurate answers within design. Creativity never stops, which means the possibilities are endless. I am growing as a designer every single day and I always will. I hope you like what I have created this far and hopefully it intrigues you to want to see more. Thank you.
