As a Senior Graphic Designer with over fifteen years of industry experience within internal creative groups and brand consultancies; my skill sets are wide-ranging from concept and brand development to project management and multi-platform marketing.
My goal as a graphic designer is to develop thoughtful solutions. I seek opportunities to persuade an audience to actively engage with their visual world. I enjoy analyzing a problem and creating a strategy that satisfy the objectives of stakeholders and assist in building on a brand's core values.
I truly believe that design can inform and educate, and has the potential to captivate the imagination. I am constantly collecting images that inspire me. I have an interest in all areas of visual communications, whether it is in the photos of Lee Friedlander or the miniature worlds of Joseph Cornell. I think Tibor Kahlman was a genius. I am informed by Swiss Modernism, De Stijl, Pop Art, and Abstract Expressionism. I appreciate bending but not breaking the rules.
