About
I am a Senior Art Director with strengths in strategic thinking and the application of that thinking to branding. I strive to effectively communicate the relationship between the concept and the tangible solution. I have proficiency in fully realized websites and print campaigns and the secondary and tertiary projects that keep brands consistent and compelling. Uncovering a brand's unseen potential is one of the most important disciplines an Art Director can master and finding it is my quest.
