What Sets Me Apart

Many designers create purely aesthetically. I believe that form follows function. I always design with purpose and carefully research my subject to create work with the highest impact.

My work mantra is to always stay organized. This is the key to efficiency. I believe that great innovation comes from self-starting & dedication to creative problem solving. 

Above all, my purpose as a designer is to be an effective communicator. The purpose of all design is to deliver a message effectively to your target audience. 

 

Design is thinking made visual.

—Saul Bass
 

Resume

For most of my career, I have worked as an in-house designer. I have built creative departments from the ground up. I am very well organized and efficient, always getting projects done by the deadline. As the in-house designer for two of my previous roles, I had to wear many hats. I am proficient in all areas of the design department, and although graphic design is my greatest strength, I can speak the language of all pieces and direct others effectively to get the tasks accomplished.
