I am a Art Director / Visual designer working across many mediums. I’ve been a professional designer for over a decade, working with such clients as Clorox, Microsoft, Comedy Central, Brita, Michelin, Dolby, and Macromedia. I’ve held several different roles in a variety of studio environments, and have designed for a wide range of mediums, including print, web, video, and interactive television design. For this reason, I feel my most valuable assets are my versatility and adaptability. I have the experience and capabilities to create compelling design within an array of parameters and project goals.
I live and work in the California Bay Area.
Aside from creating what is on this site, I also work with automobiles, tuning the engine computer systems to perform better. Examples of my work in this area can be seen on my other site.
I recently converted my personal automobile to run on renewable E85 (85% Ethanol) alternative fuel.
