I quickly learned to love good design aesthetics that kept me fully immersed in the story. I found myself copying their signage, drawing attractions and building 3D models not just of Disney, but other theme parks and roller coasters.In college I discovered that I was good at marketing, but even better at design. I changed majors to advertising design. I learned the benefits of being competitive with other students and myself, constantly pushing the envelope beyond what the client expected.Early on in my career I discovered that what hasn’t been invented needs to be. This led to my passion for working with startups and the creation of processes to become an inventor in my field.Today I love a good design challenge. Taking a client along the journey and enrolling them in the creative vision is the most rewarding thing I can do.From creating a large magazine in the dawn of desktop publishing, to working user journeys with interactive design, I deliver products that not only are on-brand, but something the consumer loves. I take pride in having my work in stores and online where ordinary people can enjoy them. I look forward to continuing to craft amazing assets customers and consumers alike will love.
