mhdesign
Micala Hutchison is another of our fabulous designers. She designed our latest logo. Enso is Japanese for 'circle'. The hand painted circle is a Zen symbol of enlightenment and of the true nature of existence. When the circle is not perfect it is said that its very imperfections make it a symbol of perfection - it is perfect just as it is. It is a symbol that combines the visible and the hidden, the simple and the profound, the empty and the full. It is also said to be a circle of infinity, a circle of simplicity, a circle of beginnings and a circle of endings.
