I make beautiful things.
Beauty is not superficial
not just an aesthetic
it is inherent in anything we do
It may be a beautiful set of numbers
a good meal or a strong box office
as much about improving welfare as increasing wealth
Beauty can be found in a poster that speaks in so few words
in helping a quiet voice be heard, sharing ideas across languages and cultures
or creating imagery to sell the next big thing
I like creating beauty.
