Finally got a green light to take a client's logo down to its absolute bare essentials.

They were worried that a simple logo would look "cheap" or "easy."

I told them what I've learned over 28 years in this business: Complexity is often a shield.

Simplicity requires confidence. It says, "We don't need to shout. You know who we are."

The new mark is just font.

I launched my design agency in 1997.

Back then, "SEO" was stuffing keywords into meta tags and hoping Altavista noticed. The tools were tables and spacer.gifs.

Today, I'm auditing site architecture for semantic topic clusters and E-E-A-T signals.

The tech stack has completely changed in 28 years, but the core rule hasn't: Good design is clear communication, not just decoration.

To write Lisp code, oh what a thrill
With parentheses, quite a skill
But if you forget
You'll be left with regret
And code that won't compile, so chill!

Playing with a ChatGPT skill that summarizes selected text as a limerick.

```
There once was a package in motion,
From JD's sorting hub in the ocean.
It's bound for a branch
In Shanghai, perchance,
To reach its recipient with devotion.
```

Not the greatest poetry, but the original selection was in Chinese.
