True simplicity is derived from so much more than just the absence of clutter and ornamentation. It’s about bringing order to complexity. – Jonathan Ive
This has been a large part of my personal aesthetic across many things in my life because of how I am mentally wired. I’ve accepted that and now seek to capitalize on this personal realization.
I believe in beauty in the midst of adversity, to strive to keep things simple in order to unify and thereby communicate what I have imagined and created on the basis of my core intention.
1. Beauty in restraint.
2. Simplicity in Complexity.
3. Unity in Diversity.
I am always thinking about and working towards explaining in my mind as to how and why I am perfecting my philosophy of creativity and for what purpose. But for now, I will sign my name to these three personal principles upon which I have arrived today. I have a lot more to learn and dedicate myself to in order to best live this out. …a shared work in progress.
I am David Moore.
