I am a Graphic Designer and Visual Designer who enjoys designing graphics for screens, print, or anything in between. Lifelong painter and filmmaker turned graphic designer, I now compose, communicate, entice, illustrate, and amuse, in the service of communication.

My work has been called eclectic and experimental. I try to not apply too many constrictions to my approach or design solutions. I enjoy client contact, product and market strategy, and helping provide measurable results using the visual elements of graphics and text, whether displayed in motion media (video, animation), on digital platforms (for the web, social media), or in beloved print publications.

A trained technical communicator, I bring humor and inventiveness to all my projects. With my background in film, visual effects and animation, and interdisciplinary aspects of production pipelines, pre and post-production, and direction, I bring to all my projects a critical eye—sensitive to composition, detail, balance, message and purpose.
