Philosophy
I
studied art and visual communication in college and from there
expanded my skills to include work in web design, film, and
multimedia. I believe design solutions comes from asking the
right questions. After finding the answers, the design will
organically go to fit any medium.
I enjoy the problem solving aspects of design
and take all projects through the process of research, insight,
connectivity, intuition, and a dash of coincidence.
My goal is to create a solution which enables
your business endeavor to grow to it's fullest potential. I
see myself as a partner to your business growth.
Experience
With
over seventeen years experience conceiving and producing solutions
for entertainment industry, corporate
clients,
design firms, film projects, and ad agencies,
I have worked on a wide variety of projects. Creative direction,
concept development, visualization, and project management are
my strengths. I enjoy managing projects from concept
to completion.
AFI
In 1999 I took a year off from print advertising
and design and attended the American Film Institute as a Digital
Media Fellow. It was an intense and exciting year. While I was
there to study special effects & title design, I was also
able to attend seminars and courses in film production, critiques,
theory and more. I attended screenings with many renowned directors.
producers and actors who were willing to share their time and
insights with us. Though I've always been passionate about film
and story telling, the experience at AFI expanded my visual
vocabulary in ways I could not anticipate.
