A little about me
Creativity is my fuel. It’s the driving force for who I am; whether it’s design, music, comics or anything else. I’m passionate about quality work that looks great, gets the job done and is made right. My creative direction and design rely on tried-and-true principles with simple solutions and clean aesthetics.
Over 15+ years, I’ve worked for several creative agencies, as well as in-house at a Fortune 500 company, all while continuing to take on projects independently. Through these opportunities, I’ve partnered with a lot of great clients including:
