About
Design and Direction: Senior-level graphic designer of all trades currently available for freelance commissions in Los Angeles and beyond.
Learning, practicing, and educating others about design has been my focus for the last 15 years. I have a command of type and imagery, a love of branding, experience leading a team and heading the creative process, and a friendly outlook. I’m extremely proficient in all the usual design software, easy to work with, and I’m a bit of a generalist. I consider that a good thing and I hope you do as well.
Past positions include lead design for retail, motion graphics, in-house design for an art school, illustration, high school design instructor and college design professor. -

With the support of an extremely talented group, we created campaigns I can only gush about: print, web, email promotions, photo shoots, art direction for our tv commercial, motion for our in-store screens, interior and exterior signage, and more. -
