As I sit typing this brief post, my excitement for this new year is bubbling over. I’m currently pursuing many projects and they will hopefully launch early in 2010.

My goal has never been to follow the standard. I march to my own drummer, as they say. Things will be shaken up, I will design, design, design, design and grow as a designer. The goal is to create simple, beautiful design, but be different. Not different for the sake of being different, but different because the standard is not always best. I know I can help through design and I will prove this.

I’m already working on a new, simpler, more intelligent re-design of this website. I’m so excited to finish it up and show everyone. What a wondrous way to welcome a new year, launching a website refresh.

I will write MANY more blog posts. My aim is to write well-structured, intelligent articles. From time to time, however, I’ll write smaller posts.

Another project I am feverishly designing will soon be released to the world. It should be useful for many designers and developers. Plus it will be open-source. I’m not so stubborn to believe there’s a single, correct method to accomplish a goal. If people let me know something is amiss, I will fix it!

There are several personal websites that I am designing for friends and family. I couldn’t be happier to create these.

Also, I’m working with more clients now and I am free to take more work. If I am lucky, I’ll be able to collaborate with other talented designers & developers, too!

For me, 2010 will be a defining year. Professionally & personally I will grow and achieve my goals. On December 31, 2010, I will look back at the year and smile.

Happy new year everyone, and get ready for a wonderful experience.
