. What I Do

Summary

With over 16 years experience, I've seen and done it all and fearless when it comes to learning something new. Working within organizations and identifying unmet needs, goals, opportunities and challenges of all departments and aspects of business, I've created and overseen the execution of plans through specific initiatives to meet the objectives of the strategic initiative.

I have an exceptional understanding of fundamental design principles (typography, layout, grid systems, hierarchy, color, composition, accessibility and internationalization) as well as a deep understanding of design language (UX/UI) and an ability to translate it into future design. I am also well versed in all Adobe (cs5) and Apple creative applications and a variety of scripting languages.

Complimentary to my technical and artistic skills, I have experience in leadership, management and direction roles in regards to visual and technical development between teams. I bring with me, a positive attitude, strong work ethic and a drive to produce nothing short of excellence.
