Experienced
Graphic Designer, UI Designer & Web Developer
I'm a Portland, Oregon based graphic artist. Long before I honed my skills in the streets of SE Portland, I was a skateboarder and musician in western Pennsylvania. I started out with a drafting table and Letraset® creating flyers, t-shirts, zines, and comics. In 1997 I graduated from college with a BA in Communication Graphics and a minor in Printmaking. Throughout my career I've worked in publishing, multi-media, ecommerce, marketing, advertising, creative direction, food packaging, UI design, video/sound production, and website development. I enjoy the entire process from concept to creation. Design is my life and I can't think or anything else I would rather dedicate my life's work to. Believe me I've tried. Woodworking comes in at a distant second. My design heroes are Paul Rand, Saul Bass, David Carson, and Art Chantry.
