A desire to create appropriate, innovative and meaningful design is at the core of my design goals. I enjoy working on a clients entire identity, from the sign on the building to the way it translates into POP, advertising and collateral material. I continually keep the clients identity and brand in mind, no matter what I am working on. I have worked as a designer in a marketing departments and several full service ad agencies. While living in Omaha I was an executive board member of AIGA Nebraska. My work has appeared in publications and award shows including the AIGA, STEP Inside Design magazine, HOW, Communication Arts and Rockport Publishers. I founded club(red), a graphic design book club through the Nebraska chapter of the AIGA. I studied graphic design at Concordia University where I earned my BFA in 1999.My passions range from reading anything remotely design related to letterpress printing, made possible by the acquisition of a Chandler & Price clamshell press circa 1918 and various trays of wood and metal type. I find that a nice balance of technology and trends mixed in with some good old classics (books, letterpress, Hawkeye box camera) give a nice balanced creative output.I have over 18 years of experience as a designer. My software proficiencies include Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. I have some experience working with Adobe Animate, Muse, After Effects, Sketch, HTML, InVision along with knowledge of 3D printing and stop-motion. My hands on illustration skills include anything from acrylic and watercolor to cut paper.Specialties: identity, branding, logos, POP, signage, packaging, letterpress, stationery, advertising, posters, brochures, collatera, invitations, 3D printing
