Hi there!
I’ve been one of those artsy, creative types as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was the kid with all the crayons, watercolors, pens, pencils, markers, chalk. I filled a lot of doodle pads in my day. I still love to play with that stuff, but now I also have the grown-up toolkit of a professional graphic designer.

About
I’m able to combine artistic flair with technical precision. In the last 10 years, I’ve put this combo to work in a diverse range of design environments, including agency, corporate and freelance work.
Like most artists, I feel like I could always do something more with my designs. Add something, erase something, start over. A drawing could end with just one line or it could evolve into a multi-media extravaganza. In the end, though, it all depends on the viewer. What do we want them to feel, think, or do as a result of this design? That’s the question that guides my work.
