About

I am a creative professional with over 20 years of design experience. I have a wide range of experience designing print and electronic materials. I enjoy collaborative problem solving and like to come up with creative design solutions to complex problems.

My background is in fine arts; I have a bachelors in painting, drawing, and printmaking. I began my design career as a print designer for White Wolf Games where I designed game cards and books. I worked for Merge Design, a design firm in Atlanta, where I designed corporate annual reports and specialty print pieces. After moving to North Carolina, I worked designing trade magazines for Journalistic, Inc. I currently work for the UNC School of Government; I began as a book designer but have worked for the past several years in the marketing department, developing a branded and unified look for the School. I’m also a freelance designer, I’ve designed books for The National Dance Association, and have also designed CDs, posters, and stickers for several local bands, as well as WXDU radio at Duke University. I am a screen printer; I teach beginning screen printing at Duke University's Art Annex, as well as Super G Print Lab, and run a poster printing outfit called Biovarg Industries. I’m also a musician and radio DJ .

Paintings

My art education is in painting and printmaking, I studied art before I became a graphic designer. My paintings reflect my suburban upbringing and cultural background. I grew up in Los Alamos, New Mexico, an isolated suburbia that was built in the 1940's to be a research laboratory and community for the scientists who worked on the first atomic bomb. The town was established as an ideal community, reflecting the styles and beliefs of cold war America in it's buildings, schools and churches. The isolated suburban community and the underlying strangeness of modern family life are consistent themes in my work.
