I am passionate about good design and how effective design can advocate communication and create positive reactions. Dedicated and ambitious with a side artillery of pun style humor to lighten the mood when necessary; I enjoy an integrated and enthusiastic team that challenges abilities and explores various mediums while succeeding in creative and conscious solutions.
