A DESIGN STATE OF MIND
Design is and has always been a natural choice for me. I thrive on breaking communication barriers with intelligent design solutions that help visually conceptualize abstract ideas. I've got a unique mix of creativity, time management, problem solving, and technical skills proven by 15+ years of experience. Able to adapt to any work and design environment, I'm quick to grasp and expand on new ideas to help facilitate project initiatives and push the bigger picture. As a passionate and motivated professional, I’m constantly striving to improve my techniques, expand my skillset and find new opportunities to grow. Each of my projects - both solo and collaborative - have provided this growth and allowed me to establish myself within this competitive industry.
Please enjoy my portfolio, and feel free to get in touch with any questions.
“The goal of a designer is to listen, observe, understand, sympathize, empathize, synthesize and glean insight that enables him or her to make the invisible visible.​"
