Christian Saylor, Universal Mind
My goal as a designer is to engage the user on a personal level independent of medium. To be able to meet them where they’re at and in a way that’s comfortable for them; be it in a mobile or embedded device, a car, a website, or even a well designed t-shirt! Design is all around us. It consumes and often inspires change. And its my goal to make that message usable, simple and engaging!
With over 13 years in the design community it’s my core focus to bridge that gap between functionality and aesthetics and deliver to the client forward thinking, beautiful, engaging experiences.
