“I would not give a fig for the simplicity on this side of complexity, but I would give my life for the simplicity on the other side of complexity.”

Oliver Wendell Holmes “Holmes-Pollock Letters : The Correspondence of Mr. Justice Holmes and Sir Frederick Pollock, 1874-1932” (2nd ed., 1961), p. 109.

Applied Design

How to design your FONA practice down to an uncluttered simplicity so that the right action can occur swiftly and successfully in a moment of need.

Think User Interface

Much of the most recognizable design work in this area is happening in computer technology. Apple products are maybe the most recognizable objects we interact with that apply this principle.

“Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”

— Steve Jobs

Expert Tips

Go back 500 years to the Renaissance and think of the Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci and the ability of the artist to evoke a profound response from a simple smile because of the incredible complexity of the painting’s composition.
