Experience Summary
After more than 25 years in the graphic design field I'd like to give something back by passing on what I've learned through years of practical, hands-on experience. I had some great teachers who helped me get a foot in the door way back when, and I'd like to do the same for any serious students who are looking to get into the field.
I am an independent graphic designer and art director who has created award-winning visual communications for a diverse range of companies and brands such as Upper Deck, the NFL, the NBA, the NHL, the PGA Tour, Mars Chocolate, Marvel Entertainment, World of Warcraft, SkinIt.com, Capital One Bank, TCA Architects, and Callaway Golf as well as many small businesses and start-ups.
I bring the unique perspective of having worked at small boutique design studios, large advertising agencies, corporate in-house design departments, as well as being an independent freelance designer.
Awards/Recognition: American Design Awards, Trademarks USA, LogoLounge 6, LogoLounge Master Library 3, All New American Logo Book, New Typographic Logo Book, and PRINT Magazine's Regional Design Annuals.

My life and work is informed by a passion for all things design... architecture, typography, mid-century modernism, pattern, texture, color, classic cars, and photography as well as travel, nature, strong doses of caffeine, Hitchcock movies, classic jazz, indie rock and much more.
