Welcome!
This iteration of my website is a reflection on the ideas about creating and controlling my work that I have been stewing on for a couple years now. As a creative person with a wide range of ideals when it comes to creating stuff, my influences, commerce, ownership, art and money, it took awhile to make sense of it all. Making decisions on how I want to share my work was the most difficult. Regardless, I want to act on my new intentions and the simple design of my site is a visual representation of balancing those ideals.
I want to be straightforward with what I share, create opportunities for connection and discussion, and offer things that are valuable to others, all while reducing reliance on other companies and their policies and practices. Another item of importance…following my gut.
Here’s what I have been thinking about:
Joseph’s Ownership Goals
100% rights to my stuff
Joseph’s Social Media Goals
Reduce personal usage to engage in the real world more often.
Joseph’s Marketing Values
Don’t bombard people with advertisements
Transparent marketing strategy
Mainly utilize word of mouth
Joseph’s Commerce Goals
Simple sales
