About
I have been working in this industry in a variety of capacities and most recently I have been an art director for a family run business. I have also explored an entrepreneurial venture where I designed the products, logos and apparel. All inspired by my passion for cycling and my family heritage. Timeless amounts of creating and design were dedicated to this as to all my designs. I was also charge of sales, marketing, press, person to person relationships and social networking.
I am a graphic designer and have designed product's, logo's, advertisement's and website's. I am very successful in building brand integrity, interest and press as well. I have an eclectic vision for inspiration and have always believed it is good to be well rounded with experience and diversify my knowledge of all things creative. -
