In My Own Words

Southern California native graphic designer with over 8 years experience in print based design. I travel the world studying global design and youth culture, in search of creative inspiration. I am equally at home with visual organization, illustration, brand identity, packaging, product photography and art direction. My greatest strength is versatility and I specialize in helping companies and clients find a visual voice that is unique to them.
