I have over twelve years experience designing for the web. In that
time I have produced everything from online advertising, websites,
microsites, trade show video installations, eLearning applications,
iPhone applications, widgets, print marketing, kiosk interfaces,
Flash and After Effects motion design to short films and audio design.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with over a hundred brands including
Nike, Sony, Nokia, Hewlett-Packard, Subaru, ESPN, Hanes, Purex,
Microsoft, Champion, Verizon, Verizon Wireless, Wells Fargo, Charles
Schwab, Loreal, SC Johnson and Avaya.
I have also freelance Art Directed for companies such as Sapient,
Atmosphere BBDO, Razorfish and Kadium. I understand and enjoy
the process from brainstorming to launch.
Aside from creating interactive design experiences, I founded and
am the Creative Director for a publishing company and the street
photography magazine I Heart Magazine. My camera’s always loaded.
I love what I do and love new challenges, challenge me.
