Art Director & Graphic Designer
San Francisco Bay Area
Art direction is what I do. It doesn't mean I'm afraid of rolling up my sleeves and pushing pixels, or getting that comp out the door at 2 in the morning to meet a deadline. It does means I like to look at the big picture along with the little details.
I believe in intelligent, no-nonsense design that speaks to, not down to, an audience. Design that is clean and simple. Design that works.
I'm a quick study, which means I get it — fast. Concepts are quickly identified and explored, with minimum supervision. I offer flexible rates and an ability to work within budgets to create strong, professional design solutions. What can I do for you?
