About
I pride myself on being a strong visual communicator who is passionate about pure design and the process of creating it. While I have spent a good part of my professional career mainly designing toys, such as Happy Meal toys and Activision's Skylanders, I have been fortunate enough to also work for a diverse spectrum of clients, including 3M, Proctor and Gamble, Gillette, and BAT, on various projects ranging from bathroom accessories to razors to car fresheners to e-cigarettes. I hope to continue that trend on my next professional endeavor with a design firm that is as dedicated to creating great designs and user experiences as it is to being socially aware and environmentally responsible. My aim is to work on more design-intensive projects. I relish working on complex design problems and coming up with solutions. I'm content at the end of the day when all possible design solutions have been explored and what's needed is a good night's sleep, and then wake up the next day to do it all over again.
