Formally educated in print production and design then formally paid for web interface design and implementation, I have produced a variety of projects over the course of my career. This site presents these works in five sections, each briefly explained below. Please explore freely and contact me with any comments, questions, or job opportunities.

Representing a particular design challenge, these works demonstrate the creation of icons and logos for various applications, online and off.
These print pieces exhibit knowledge of traditional design principles and production techniques. The works range from small books to black and white newspaper ads.
