I am a multi-disciplined designer with 20 years of professional experience in the design industry across platforms. I also have a solid background as a classically trained fine-artist with a focus on contemporary realism & surrealism. 

From conception to completion, I love problem solving design challenges and am talented at turning non-graphical concepts and mission statements into something visually illuminating that resonates with the targeted audience. I thoroughly enjoy working hands-on with other creative professionals, and because my skills are multi-faceted, I am able to effectively manage substantial branding projects across platforms, direct junior designers with a firm understanding on how assets will translate from one medium to the next, and collaborate with supporting teams involved in the overall achievement of cohesive large scale corporate marketing goals. Like a carpenter using various tools, I view my own unique skill-set as a means to complete a well-planned, consistent customer and corporate design experience.

My Specialties:
• Art direction and production
• Corporate branding
• Illustration and fine art
• Photo manipulation and color correction
• Print and packaging design
• Visual design

The Adobe Creative Suite is the platform set I professionally call home. I also work in a variety of other mediums including pastels, oils, acrylics, sanguine, charcoal, pencil, ink, and mixed media for fine art and traditional illustration.

Clientele I have worked with include: Anheuser Busch, Costco, 8oz Burger Bar, Facerock Creamery, Forza, Harley Davidson, MOD Pizza, MultiCare, Narrows Brewing, Precore USA, 30 Seconds to Mars, Thomas Publishing, Waves Coffee, Yama Galleria, and many more!
