Resume

The Process

My intention is to elevate design quality, strengthen brand and message, increase engagement, and with a collaborative spirit, best serve our audiences.

A Creative Web Guy & Artist

Striving for effective design solutions and creativity, we can merge the best of both worlds.

Practicing this as a front-end web developer on marketing teams (including being a mentor) taught me the value of sound leadership of self. We each have a part to play, guided by strong vision and drive, powerful messaging and designs would result.

The Journey

As a fine artist, graphic designer, and front-end web developer, success and growth is a drive to “find ways to be better.” Those soft skills require humility to meet needs of a project, brand, and message. To communicate and embrace feedback and critique.
