*Please pardon the un-styled mess why I am rethinking and re-designing my blog!*
It’s been mighty quiet here for the past few weeks and some of you might wonder what is going on? Have no fear… I’ve just been insanely busy working on a bunch of top secret projects!
A site I spent many long hours working on a few months ago at Brunello Creative has finally launched! Read more about the project in my Web Design Portfolio or view the site over at GalileanSecret.com. I’ll admit that it was a bit challanging at first to design a semi-photorealistic site. Please feel free to chime in and let me know your thoughts about the design – I’m always open to suggestions and constructive criticism!
Why am I taking some time off? (besides the fact that I want to make amazing hidden message banana installations…)
Watch the video below:
Every seven years, designer Stefan Sagmeister closes his New York studio for a yearlong sabbatical to rejuvenate and refresh their creative outlook. He explains the often overlooked value of time off and shows the innovative projects inspired by his time in Bali.
I’ve been blogging on a regular basis for quite a while and am starting to feel a bit burned out. I’ve been planning on taking a month or so off from blogging in order to come back at the new year with a fresh perspective. So stay tuned – I’ll be back sometime mid January with new content and hopefully a fresh outlook on design!
In the meantime you should follow me on twitter and check out Daily Design Bits!
I hope you all enjoy the holiday season and take some time to relax and reflect. I’ll see you next year!

Enjoy the time off. I always find it hard to actually do it because I love what I do so much.

The Galilean Secret site is lovely. However, if you possibly can, you should change the punctuation on the front page to "A centuries-old secret" (instead of "A centuries' old secret"). I'd feel disinclined to read an entire book that immediately demonstrates incorrect punctuation (sorry to be a grammar Nazi).
