RESUME
About me
I'm an Art Director with great design skills and a designer who loves to Art Direct. Having worked in multiple mediums, from TV to print, direct mail, online and social media, I'm strategic, conceptual and the guy people know they can go to at the umpteenth hour to get the job
done right.
A little more info on me, but hopefully not too much…
-
I grew up on a lake.
-
I'm a gourmet cook.
-
I used to show up at photo shoots just to learn.
-
Fly-fishing makes me obscenely happy.
-
I have the worst fake laugh on earth.
-
I'm a great presenter.
However, what’s probably the most important for you to know is that, for me, it's really all about the work. Whether I'm doing a TV spot, a banner ad or an in-office brochure, I take on each with equal enthusiasm and passion. That having been said, I hope you'll take a look at my portfolio.
