About Me

I’m a multidisciplinary designer committed to effective visual communication, with a trained eye for detail, good layout, and harmonious composition. My experience as a designer is broad, running the gamut from advertising agency work to illustration, publication design, UX/UI, and web development. I am continually learning, to improve and expand my skills, to better meet the needs of those I serve.

But that’s just my day job—the really important stuff is at home. As a husband and father, my family is my top priority; I strive to maintain a healthy work-life balance. And, when I do get some free time, I enjoy reading, watching movies and writing capsule reviews, playing the occasional video game, and spending time outdoors.

Professional Skills

Specialties include: design for web and print, logo design, illustration, typography, writing & copyediting.

I’ve worked both independently and as part of a team. While I am comfortable in either role, I particularly enjoy the collaborative process. I welcome opportunities to work with others; teamwork enables better problem solving and enhances personal growth.
