Harry Pujols decided to be excellent in many fields instead of looking for perfection in one. His economical, minimalist storytelling and design style is inspired in many brands he admires such as Apple, Google and Ikea. Most of his employment career has been as advertising agency copywriter, but he's a celebrated proofreader, published comic book artist and journalist, and a capable Web designer. As a techno-freak, he is always looking to apply the next big trend into his work.
