"My design philosophy is almost Taoist in nature. Balance and unbalance; a design must be so natural and intuitive to users that almost no thought is necessary." </p> Links from this page:<br> <a href="profile.html">profile.html</a><br> <a href="old_page/resume.html">portfolio.html</a><br> <a href="old_page/">Personal Home Page</a><br> <a href="../contact.html">Contact</a><br> <a href="../artists.html">Other Artists</a><br> <a href="../index.html">Yeti Arts Home</a><br>
