The Short & Sweet
Trying to figure out what bucket to put me in? That's a hard one. I'd say I'm part left brained, but mostly right brained (thus the logo). I’ve managed teams and I've worked on projects where I'm the entire team. Having just over 17 years in the industry I've done everything from print, web, digital, video, photography, events, packaging, motion and more.
My curiosity and drive pushes me to new limits. My priorities are clean creativity, profitable processes and passion for what I'm doing. If you need someone to dive in and take ownership to create a great creative project then you've found your guy.
