About

I am a freelance Art Director/Graphic Designer.

I specialize in Branding, Print, Apparel, Product, and package design.

Currently: Contract Jr. Art Director/Designer at Adidas

Skills:

- Understanding brand positioning and how it applies to product.

- Solid understanding of design trends in relation to sports culture.

- Leadership, verbal presentation and management skills.

- Strong design, layout and typographical skills.

- International manufacture relations

- Expert in Adobe CS and MS Office.

I try to live an active and inspired lifestyle away from the computer as much as time allows. Which seems to be less and less each year. I ski, skateboard, mountain bike, play basketball, hike, camp whenever possible.
