About
I am a Graphic and Web Designer that plays by the rules of design, but is not afraid to venture outside of them to come up with new ways to solve graphic dilemmas. I am a designer that understand the techniques needed for both great graphic and print production design. Much of my time has been spent learning from the sign industry to evolve as a designer by not limiting myself to a screen. I have much pride in educating myself extensively and marrying my appreciation for typography and layout design, along with my proficiency in web scripting, to make me a formidable designer.
