With more than ten years of experience as a multi-media designer, I have gained extensive knowledge of both print and web development. I have worked on interactive design projects ranging in scope from single kiosks to enterprise-wide web applications for Fortune 500 clients such as Verizon and Cisco.

I have experience in all phases of design, including conceptualization, presentation, collaboration, management, and execution. My goal is to contribute my knowledge and continue to grow with a creative, dynamic, team-driven agency.
