About
I'm a graphic designer and art director specializing in logos, visual identities and distinctive print pieces for my clients in various markets, from restaurants and hotels to arts foundations and the publishing industry.
Detail-oriented and focused, I have the experience, insight and imagination to create the exceptional pieces my clients demand. My excellent communication and organizational skills, along with a finely–honed design sensibility ensures a unique solution to any project. I have a passion for typography, and my background in photography and painting gives me the sensibility of a fine artist along with the graphic knowledge essential for successful visual communication. I love what I do, and I think it shows in my work.
Whether it's for the arts, hospitality, publishing or corporate industry, I create thoughtful, unique pieces across all media.
