In My Own Words
I'm a 49 year old guy from Long Beach, CA. I have 30 years of experience working with top brands and comprehensive knowledge of the creative
process, brand development and visual design. I love taking on branding, interactive, and package design projects.
I am an obsessive, compulsive designer. I also enjoy surfing, music, art, technology, and have an abnormal fetish for fonts.
