Why Pencil First Design?
My passion for design starts with illustration - that means everything kicks off with pencil and paper. I just love it. There’s freedom in a sketchbook that can’t be found inside a computer. Every page explodes with fresh creativity.
Design is about storytelling. And drawing is the most powerful way to communicate and visualize the power behind the first steps of design. Humans love stories and only humans can create captivating stories. Starting with a pencil in hand makes your brand’s story its own. It captures your unique emotion and your customer’s too.
