Visual + UX/UI Design Professional
My design solutions have often made the sale for a new client, launched an entrepreneur's career, helped a project come in under budget or been an integral part to a successful marketing outcome.
I have extensive experience in web, publication, advertising and marketing design.
As a visual and graphic designer, I have produced conceptual design for national and regional clients. My background is rooted in hands-on design, so I am intimately familiar with each step of the design process, from concept to completion. This hands-on experience has allowed me to produce projects that range from original illustrations, retail ads, in-store signage, marketing and corporate print collateral, and publication design to storyboards, wireframes, digital assets and websites.
I have worked closely with creative directors, designers, marketers, copywriters, editors and developers to produce interactive and print design work for a variety of business audiences.
it's all in how you look at things
