Hello!
I have considerable experience taking on the role of Art Director for clients unfamiliar with the overall visual aspects of design. I can determine the overall style or tone desired for each project and articulate my vision to the creatives on the team. I can also be a team contributor as a Motion Graphic Artist or 3D Generalist.
Most of my work supports government, corporate, and consumer brand identity. Platforms include digital signage, exhibit installations, permanent installations, AR/VR, social media, and broadcast.
Personal life interests include a passion for art, like the minimalist geometry of Agnes Martin, the dystopian surrealist paintings of Zdzislaw Beksiński, and the futuristic fantasy of Sid Mead, to name a few. I enjoy shooting and following abstract photography like the personal work of Saul Leiter. I participate in and follow action sports such as snowboarding and surfing. Family and social gatherings are important. Let's go for a hike or camp under the stars. I'll drive.

I have an inside perspective on corporate marketing decision-makers.
I focus on delivering work that adds value. To understand what the client needs by asking questions until the problem or solution is clear.

I apply best practices and emerging technologies. I’m fiercely dedicated in my approach, with an ability to problem-solve. I excel in demanding situations that happen when working with a design team.
I’m positive my enthusiasm for the creative process will make me an immediate asset.
