    I have enjoyed the business of design in the Los Angeles area for 25 years, working in both print and interactive mediums. Recently I served as creative director for the global health and beauty brand, The Kama Sutra Company, overseeing all aspects of packaging, trade show, websites, new product development and overall branding initiatives. My work spans a variety of industries, including television, retail, music, and technology, with clients that include IBM, Epson, UCLA Center for Performing Arts, the City of Los Angeles, Shimano as well as AIGA, the association of design.

    My work has been featured in Graphis, Print, How and numerous other design publications. In 2006 I was invited as speaker and jurist at La Salle University in Mexico City for the annual Quorum design awards. I sat on the board of directors for the Los Angeles chapter of the AIGA, and am an alumni of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.
