About ME

I grew up drawing, all the time. It is something I love to do, and I have found that it is an incredible communication tool when discussing conceptual ideas. As a result, I can quickly articulate ideas to stakeholders, effectively aligning thinking and setting clear goals, which leads to overall efficiency.

An inspired creative, I believe that design is not about making something pretty, it is not about adornment. Design is problem solving, as such, the solution will take the form that best answers the challenge. Of course maintaining a high aesthetic is without question.

I am a self starter, and am comfortable working independently as well as collaborating with cross-disciplinary teams. I have many years of management experience as well, whether that be directing design staff, projects or vendors.

My experience includes visual design for web, advertising, large and complex project management, graphic design for print, publications, annual reports, multi page brochures, and consumer packaging. I have extensive experience directing photo shoots, as well as video. In addition, I have designed custom trade show booths, point of purchase displays, and permanent museum exhibits.

As I mentioned elsewhere on the site, I come from a family with three generations in the Graphic Arts, I literally grew up around printing. As a result, I am extremely well versed in print and print production. I am comfortable with vendor selection and management, trouble shooting production or budget issues, and attending press checks to ensure quality and color accuracy.
