Resume

Artist and Designer

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: Simplicity & Flexibility

Focus on simplicity the smallest number of strokes to define a concept. Design, in its

purest, most expressive form, is as unique to each client as a fingerprint.

Dedication to flexibility exploring and defining a design that represents the essence of

a customer's idea.

CAPABILITIES

The creative act is a process which takes ability, expertise and, above all, passion. Passion

is the first stroke which then leads to the development of an ability and, over time, to

expertise. Ability and expertise take dedication, motivation and concentration.

My passions: visual arts, outdoor adventures, experiencing life in all its cultural varieties.

My abilities: graphic arts, wilderness river guiding, Swift Water Rescue, speaking and

communicating in other languages.

My expertise: the identification of the essence of a product and its visual expression; leadership and responsibility in challenging outdoor situations, and strong communication skills. While my passions have always been part of who I am, my abilities and my expertise are due to my dedication to whatever I undertake, my motivation to excel at whatever I do and the concentration I apply to whatever I start.
