I'm a creative professional based in Northern California with over 20 years experience in visual, UX and motion design. I am a passionate hands-on designer and leader of creative teams. I utilize my visual, UX and motion design talent to explore new & interesting ways to solve design challenges.

“My passion is creating things that people love.”

I believe in the power of creativity and it's ability to change the world. I'm currently focusing my creative energy on designing innovative experiences for people and their mobile devices.

My personal philosophy. “I believe...”

  • In the power of creativity, and it's ability to change the world.
  • In serving the needs of the end-user above all else.
  • In the insight of intuition.
  • In life-long learning, and the exchange of knowledge and experience.
  • Change is constant and should be embraced.
  • In serendipity and the unexpected creative magic that can happen between people exchange ideas.
  • In taking risks on things you believe in.
