Art Director/Interactive Designer @ Lotus Interworks
Greater Los Angeles Area
I have extensive training and experience in graphic design for print, interactive media, along-side motion graphics and animation. I have a bachelors degree from CalArts (BFA '02) focusing on branding, typography, interactive design and motion graphics. I have managed my own freelance design practice, managed my own design staff, worked with numerous industries and design agencies. I have merged my creative and communicative skills to develop an array of projects for the many outlets graphic design has to offer. I deliver concept-driven work combined with keen organization and research skills. My goal is to invent and create invigorating form and content for this generation and the next. I believe exceptional design is something "Classic". Something that will last forever in the most "nostalgic" sense. Something nice...
I am passionate about Business. My specialty has become brand identity. I have successfully built and packaged the image of companies from ground zero, up. I have intertwined this skill productively to suit each client's business model and strategy. I believe clear communication, vivid imagery and exceptional typography to be critical in delivering a powerful corporate brand.
I exemplify the ideal designer model. I'm capable of charismatically directing and enticing a creative group to package success. I also know how to work as a team player and grow with a fast paced business. I meet deadlines enabling a finessed product fusible to company, client, and consumer.
