I'm a creative graphic designer and variable data expert with 25 years of broad experience in print and digital media, with a focus on technical issues that impact the industry; such as digital printing & cross-media integration. I'm experienced in outside sales, account management, and leading teams on design and marketing projects.I specialize in blending graphic design with technology - leveraging artwork across media with real-world design solutions that can be produced in a streamlined and automated fashion.I enjoy technology, I love APIs and ODBCs and CMSes. I built my own quartz radio as a kid after I yanked apart my dad's HiFi to see how it worked. I love writing and 90's metal, I admire Carl Sagan and Isaac Asimov. I'm a recovering Apple fanboy who's cross-trained onto Windows and Linux platforms, but I'm not bitter about it. Not at all.
