    My college degree in Anthropology and Art prepared me well for being a designer, as I approach design first as a listener and second as a storyteller. This research-oriented methodology allows me to take in information, distill it to its essence and realize it in visual form. I love hearing about what matters to people and thinking about the visual language with which to represent it. Does yellow convey possibility or is it diagonal stripes? Or both?

      When I am not working full time I am consulting. Most recently I worked at the University of California implementing a new identity into a 50-page report, a web site for an internal pilot project, and a PowerPoint template and style guide. I relish in the discovery process where I get to listen, extract what the heart of a client’s business is about and reduce it to its essence. I take ownership of my projects from conceptualizing to attending press checks. I have a knack for offbeat compositions and believe in superb craftsmanship.
