In a nutshell
I am a creative art director and designer who’s highly committed to delivering a strong customer service experience. I get great satisfaction from seeing good work materialize into great projects and products. For the past 20-plus years, I have worked both in-house and as a contractor providing creative services, in print and digital media across multiple industries including publishing, pharmaceuticals, petroleum, real estate, financial, and consumer products.
Most of all, my job is about trying. Trying to make work that’s focused, friendly, strategic, and effective…
I enjoy hanging out with family in the great outdoors and my dog Jack.
