I am a highly motivated visual designer and illustrator with over 20+ years of experience in the graphic and web design field. Well-versed in Adobe's Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, and After Effects), Quark XPress, Multi-Ad Creator, HTML/XHTML, CSS, UI/UX Design Principles and rapid prototyping of web/mobile app designs. Self-managing while also comfortable with being a team player. Effective in driving design direction and collaborations with programming, marketing, and account management professionals to create the best possible products for the client. Open to design influence, inspiration, and the expertise of the people around me, appreciating everyone's talents, strengths, and weaknesses, whilst maintaining a clear vision of delivering a message that speaks directly to the reader, viewer, and end user.In addition to my strong knowledge of web design, I also possess a solid background in print design. I specialize in creating visually strong and thoughtfully laid out designs while maintaining a keen understanding of the aesthetic qualities of user interface design. I can easily communicate the dry technical requirements of prepress techs, software engineers, and coders and then translate their questions and ideas into layman’s terms.Outside of work, I enjoy playing drums on weekends, exploring different cuisines while traveling with my wife, watching movies, and being a fan of Steve Jobs and Dieter Rams.
