I am a problem solver, a recognizer of patterns and obstacles, and a deep-thinker incessantly questing for a better way. I am a design leader, professor, mentor, and team member striving to define a clear path to the best result.My passion for art and design was ignited at a young age. I began my journey as a Graphics Clerk for WKBD, UPN50, where I assisted with the over-the-shoulder graphics on the 10 o’clock news. It was in those early moments that I knew I was hooked. Now, 20 years later, I am still captivated by the ever-changing design community.Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of creating branding, print, and digital solutions for a wide range of iconic brands. This includes work for Adobe, BBC, Cessna, Columbia Records, DaimlerChrysler, Disney, Dreamworks, General Motors, Hasbro, IBM, LinkedIn, Lucasfilm, Marvel, Mercedes, Middle-earth Enterprises, Motorola, Nickelodeon, Paramount Pictures, Seymour Duncan, Sony Pictures, Square Enix, Toyota, and Ubisoft.I don’t often enter competitions. However, my work has been selected and published by the likes of Steven Heller, an Art Directors Club Hall of Fame inductee and AIGA Medal recipient, Mirko Ilić, a master illustrator and author with collections within the Smithsonian Museum and MoMA, as well as several design works selected to appear within LogoLounge publications. I’ve also received the IABC of Detroit’s Renaissance Award of Excellence in Non-Publication Art and Design.Please reach out for portfolio log-in information.
