I am a graphic designer with a deep background in visual art. Imaginative problem-solving is my forté. My concepts are inventive, powerful and innovative. I design:

• Print collateral
• Digital illustrations
• Product and apparel graphics
• Graphics for the web and email design
• Digital animations

I can manage projects from start to finish – including art direction, photo shoots, press checks, overseeing production, and ensuring brand standards.

I am fluent in the latest version of Adobe Creative Suite – Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, Flash, Dreamweaver, and After Effects – and work with most other design programs, such as Motion, Scene7 and QuarkXPress. I use a variety of techniques and disciplines, including drawing, painting, screen printing, photography and collage.

I prefer to work collaboratively in an environment where people with diverse skill sets and jobs all work together to contribute to every aspect of each project. I’m so much more than just a graphic designer and I have much more insight to contribute than just my PhotoShop and Illustrator skills. The most successful projects are the ones where everyone has complete ownership of instead of just doing their small part on the creative assembly line.

I am a strong believer in Story and Experience. To me, the most important part of any project is how the user will receive it and what kind of experience they’ll have. Everything we do as creative people should engage others in an intriguing way and inspire them.

The original, stylized approach I bring to everything I do captures the energy of my life in a personal and exciting way. Inspired by contemporary and classical artists and designers, I strive to express my unique perspective on the world. I use a variety of media to synthesize contemporary culture and reveal truth and beauty in both the mundane and the unusual.
