    Results driven Graphic Art Manager with over 25 years of experience steering creative teams in the action sports and events industries. Specializing in end to end campaigns, I can see them through from the initial concept to the finished product. I am passionate about leading creatives that resonate with enthusiasts and mainstream alike.

  • Education
    • AA Graphic Design
      Santa Monica College
      1998 - 2000
      I was enrolled at SMC at the very beginning of their Academy of Entertainment and Technology. This was a huge investment by major entertainment, software and computer brands and this concept continues to this day. Our campus was located in the heart of Santa Monica next to MTV Studios, etc. It was an exciting time to be a student at SMC and the teachers I was lucky enough to have were leaders in the Entertainment and Press industries. Most of the faculty were not full time teachers, they were industry leaders that taught one or two classes per semester. I had teachers from top design agencies, and news papers, from Chiat Day, to the Los Angeles Times. I was a strong student and won awards for several of my projects.

      Simpson Race Products
      Los Angeles, CA
      Jun 2004 - Apr 2014 (9 years 10 months)
      In my first stint at Simpson Racing I was hired to be the 2nd graphic designer. When the designer who hired me left, I was promoted to manager. From then through the remainder of my time I was in charge or a small department mainly consisting of myself and one other designer, but for some periods two other designers. It was during this period that we began to bring in-house printing production online. We went from engineering garments in-house but sending them to vendors to print and transfer, to doing the complete package. At first we had 2 large format printers that was eventually doubled to 4. I oversaw all production, maintenance and inventory on the print shop, in addition to my duties as the Graphic Design manager making sure our look was on point and race teams stood out.
