My experiences run the gamut from art directing/graphic design/illustration/, to touring the globe in support of various musicians, leading live event productions on small and grand scales.

I love creativity, a good sense of humor, and collaborating with others to achieve well-crafted solutions. I have a casual outlook on life, serious love of design, illustration, photography, and architecture. 

Treat me with respect, (as I will to you), and you'll get tenfold back.
