My experience as production artist, art director, creative director, business owner and presenter, greatly influences my design and my ability to make projects flow smoothly from the ground up.
I embrace the opportunity that I’ve had to work on such a variety of projects, and to have been able to make the transition from drawing board, to computer, to web, and to always have the challenge of the ever changing technology and marketplace.
My goal now is not to increase my levels of expertise in the software, or programming, but to know what the best solutions are out there, and to work with the people that are the experts.
