The Basics
 
More About Me
I've been around the block in my short time in this industry. I've collaborated with the big boys and brought fresh vision to the little guys. I consider myself a nice blend of analog and digital. I dig pixel perfect websites, but I also love the feeling of 3M Super 77 adhesive stuck on my fingertips. My design approach is intelligently simple and obsessively organized. I believe that I’m forced to be a designer by nature, but it makes me feel better to say that it’s by choice.
