CONNECT THE DOTS

Some people are surprised by my combination of studies, but I have never doubted my path. Exploring other fields helped to narrow my focus to graphic arts. The in-depth analytical skills I honed while studying Psychology and Sociology are of continual help in terms of breaking down design and business problems and developing solutions that make sense. And similarly, understanding social influences and context has a direct bearing on communication. What could be more important to design?

I believe my strong suit is my ability to focus. I listen closely to clients wants and needs to creatively develop design solutions while keeping an eye on the big picture. I like fitting the pieces together to create a cohesive whole. Every little detail has its place and deserves careful and thoughtful consideration.

ME TUBE

TV? The Office, Battlestar Galactica and 30 Rock. Sports take up the rest of my TV time (fantasy football champion, fantasy baseball runner-up). My all-time favorite show? Six Feet Under. Ones that should still be on? Arrested Development, Firefly, Freaks & Geaks, and Clone High.

Movies? Of late—Iron Man. He's a funny guy. Also saw Persepolis which was beautifully done. And finally got around to Babel which is another one of those that I respect but probably won't watch again. All-time? Amelie, Before Sunrise/Sunset, Donnie Darko and on and on...
