Details build trust. Repetition builds credibility. Accountability protects the integrity of the work. That's what I believe design is, not just an aesthetic, but a practice. It shows up in the grid, the spacing, the typography, and the words we choose. It demands the rigor to simplify and the restraint to protect a standard.
