Looking forward, are you optimistic about the role of graphic design in business and society?
Absolutely. Communication through graphic design has always been a societal barometer to the everchanging culture. Just look at the myriad of communication devices utilized to voice the angst of thousands of protesters around the country and world for various causes. Most of the banners, signs and murals were handmade, and were particularly intriguing. In some cases, they were particularly effective and garnered the most attention. Subsequently, the efforts forced the business world to pay closer attention to these causes and ultimately refocus their marketing efforts to address these social issues. From an historical standpoint, this has been the case since humans first started to communicate. I don’t see this evolution changing any time soon.
Have the challenges of the past two years changed the way you approach your work?
Because I’ve worked remotely for most of my entrepreneurial design career, my working habits were not initially impacted by the pandemic. As an only child I relished my time alone. So much, in fact, that when the opportunity presented itself I made the switch to work entirely from my home many years ago. Because I started out painting portraits, and like most artists, I worked alone. So when I became a designer, it felt natural to continue to create solo.
