Memphis Web Design | Simple Focus: the Evolution of Experience

December 23, 2010

Simple Focus owner JD Graffam has joined the Pattern Tap team to curate submissions from the world’s best web designers.

“Pattern Tap is the go-to resource for web designers around the globe,” says JD Graffam, owner of Simple Focus. “This is a great opportunity to connect with the community and to help showcase the best example of interface design in the world.”

Pattern Tap is a web design resource that satisfies and encourages the inspiration needs of interface designers. It aspires to be the design tap for your next inspiration need. It is the brain child of Matthew Smith at Squared Eye and was nimbly built by the ten fingered genius Chris Pollock at Simplified.
