  • About

    I'm a graphic designer with a passion for the creative pop culture. I take in the world around me, and focus what works, what inspires, what hits that right visual note, into the message of the the project I'm working on.

    I enjoy the variety of the commercial design world. Whether its conceptualizing new toy lines, laying out informational booklets or directing models at a photoshoot, that creative, visual spark can work its way into everything, and is only limited to what you put into it. I think the key is to keep it fresh and new for yourself, and it will translate into your work.

    I'd like to think my hobbies and interests, comics, toys, movies and music, all blend into an overall creative package where all ideas are considered,and the ultimate goal is delivering the core message in exciting and innovative ways.
