I’m driven by curiosity and passion to solve communication problems. Design and technology should tell stories that can touch and invoke the feelings of an audience. I strive to keep my creativity fresh and my design skills sharp.  I don’t believe light bulb moments. Great work is hard earned in the midst of a
time-tested process.

My goal is to obtain a full-time position with a talented group of designers and help uncover the ideas and emotions that drive a company and fuel better thinking, better solutions and better design.
