MIDWEST RAISED.
EAST COAST FORGED.
WEST COAST LIVING.
A little background; I studied at Western Michigan University and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design. After college, I moved to New York City and began my professional career. Life carried on and I moved to Oregon where I have been happy to call home since. I have focused on broadening my talents and honing my skills while working with some of the most accomplished and respected individuals and brands in the industry.
I have professional work experience in both Design and Production. This design sensibility combined with technical understanding allows me to more effectively translate a designer's intent into reality. My skills have also broadened to include 3D model creation and photorealistic rendering capabilities which further empowers me to bring designers ideas to life.
Production is often regarded as the end of the road; simply a means to an end. My past work experiences have molded me into a different mind-set, one where production is involved from start to finish - helping bring every detail of a project to the fullest and most enriching realization. Working closely with vendors and client manufacturers to bring their level of knowledge to the design teams, we have been able to complete work with greater intent and higher quality. Knowledge of the limits in a process allows design to maximize what is possible and deliver the best work.
