Creative & Design

<p>I am a multidisciplinary designer with 15+ years of experience. I have been fortunate enough to work with a wide variety of industries including motorsports, high-end women's fashion, action sports and retail. Through these different worlds of design, I have greatly expanded my views and have learned to collaborate with designers and art directors from all industries. Rather than work on one aspect of a project, I prefer to be immersed entirely. In this technologically driven world, graphic design is much more than just computer programs. I've adapted to work projects from all angles, from initial sketches to press checks to website launches. Through these experiences I have developed a strong curiosity to learn and master associated skills, like web development, photography, art direction and more.</p>
