About
I am a Digital Creative Director with over 20 years of experience. During this time, I have worked at start-ups, a Fortune 200 company and top-tier ad agencies. Having been a front-end developer, art director and experience designer, I know how to execute everything from rich media banners to enterprise level websites.
Collaborating with team members, I unite experience design, strategy and aesthetics to solve difficult problems. Before immersing myself in the world of digital, my first few gigs ranged from colorizing comic books to producing Medical Illustration for universities and e-learning start-ups. -
