SUMMARY

I have about 9 years of experience in design, advertising and development. My involvement ranges from leading Guerilla Marketing campaigns for band promotions, print advertising for non-profit organizations, web design for Fortune 500 companies, to creating custom Content-Management solutions. I believe code should be lean, a brand should strive for a deep connection to it's audience, and design should engage that connection.
