Design Philosophy

In my earlier work, such as the AIDS awareness website, I was obsessed with making websites look like working objects. I made sites look and operate like folders, offices, space ships and televisions.

After buying some books on arabesque art, I started makign some of my own Persian art, such as my drawing of a famous Iranian revolutionary. I designed a card for Ramadan and it was displayed on a Islamic news site.

I then went through a grungy period were I mixed bright colours with gritty texture, such as my postcard promoting Camdem Market. My best example would probably my third year project Twingle. Twingle was a simple application that used Twitter to plot what people where doing in Dublin on a map. This was displayed in an exhibition and was reference in a speech by the local government politician.

Currently I apply Zen Buddhist philosophy to my working. Meaning that I like to use open white spaces and develop websites with the utmost minimal functions needed.
