In My Own Words

With over 15 years of experience with major companies, I have worked with a wide range of media including print, web and television. From beginning to end, I enjoy taking part in all aspects of a project focusing on quality design. I have a strong understanding of design principles and typography. It is in my nature to work proactively in a team environment. My previous role put me on the front line of design, where my unique style manifested itself in bold, creative and energetic work.
