What is your least favorite question/comment about your work and how do you respond?
"So you're a designer, but you make art too?"

22 likes to focus on the overlap between art and design. Do you consider yourself an artist or designer?
I'm comfortable with either word.

Tell us about the piece(s) you created for MODULAR22:
My piece for MODULAR22 is revelling in the digital structures I interact with on a daily basis: my desktop and Stickies. I like to imagine these as rooms and objects in a lush physical space with depth. This work is exploring the conversation of design being a transparent vessel for information. In this case, the process is transparent (screenshots, image warping), but the communication may not be all the time.
