In My Own Words
An artist at heart with over 2 decades of design experience in everything from International Ad-agencies to being the only graphic artist on an in-house design team. From print to digital, I've done it all for companies like T-Mobile, Sony, Amazon, Pepsi, Microsoft, Adidas, and so many more. However, my heart lies with the small businesses, the local start-ups, and that neighborhood-famous punk band down the street that needs merch for their next show at the grungy dive bar down the street.
