I began my career in 1997 as an HTML coder at a small firm in Youngstown, Ohio. Within a year I had quickly migrated over to more design-oriented tasks, and in 1999 I took my first position as a full-time graphic designer.
Over the years, I have continued to advance my understanding of all aspects of the interactive design industry, through personal, occupational, and peer challenges.
