About
Enduser Business Interface Design
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
My passion is for helping artists realize their business identity, and helping businesses realize their artistic identity. I'm a musician and visual creative with an academic background in business, marketing communication, and graphic design.
I am also a supernerd! I'm nerdy about a great many things, but I'm especially nerdy about typography, space in design, math rock, miniatures wargaming , and Volvos.
I constantly strive to understand and enhance the visual and social interface between consumers and a corporation's culture. What is YOUR message?
