I believe that Curiosity Breeds Creativity. I strive to stay curious about things I know nothing about, and in this process I am continually finding new paths to problem-solving. Keeping an open mind, and constantly exploring helps provide solutions that are beyond the mundane.
I have an extensive background in publishing, and that has provided me with a unique perspective to create compelling designs that communicate clearly and concisely, yet reverberate with emotion as well. Passion is an integral part of my design. Making a lasting connection with the audience is key. This is my expertise.
As the head of design for ROAD & TRACK magazine for many years I built a reputation for upholding high standards for quality and maintaining brand integrity across multiple platforms. I always strive to nurture creativity with co-workers and contributors. Creating and developing innovative new ideas and products are part of my DNA. Staying progressive, staying passionate, having fun and working with like-minded people is the key to creating cool, compelling and effective work. Not to mention making the ride good fun.
My current freelance work includes, but is not limited to magazine design (both print and digital), magazine re-design, advertising design, digital storyboarding, book design, logo design, website & mobile media design, photography and more.
