Not only can I sketch ideas for presentation to clients, I can do this in front of them. I am also carrying around every sketch I do on my iPad, making it possible for me to literally sketch anywhere... [Concepts] is without any shadow of doubt the perfect merge of technology and craft that frees me to design and create without boundaries.
