I believe in communication. I take complex ideas–about politics, business, science, art, global affairs–and make them accessible with clean design. I work across platforms. I visualize data. I help develop identities and defend brands. I thrive on deadlines.
Can AI do this sort of work? It can be a useful assistant. (Doesn’t everyone need one?) If you want visuals with insight, humor, irony, trust and accountability, then you need a human art director and designer.
