Soccer, tv shows,
sneakers & cats.

My interest in graphic design when I was younger ultimately led to my present day passion in the design field. The challenge of behind-the-scenes collaboration required to bring a client’s campaign to fruition keeps my job interesting and rewarding. I started my design career as a Flash developer. Always interested in acquiring new skills, I have expanded my toolbox to include print and some motion design. I also had experience with mid-level management responsibilities. I’m always looking for opportunities to expand my capabilities, which fits well in the ever evolving advertising industry. I love solving client design challenges using a minimalistic approach that typically results in quicker results that saves the customer time and money.

In my personal time, I’m probably spoiling my cat and enjoying some soccer on TV! Over the years I’ve developed a sneaker addiction. One of the first questions people will ask me is “are you a boost or swoosh guy?” My response is “why not both?” Sneakers bring comfort to everyday wear as well as providing an outlet for silhouette creativity. Other hobbies I often dabble in are photography, hiking and video games.

Below you will find a sampling of my work experience and links to my resume and LinkedIn. Thanks for stopping by!
