graphic & web designer
I make pretty (awesome) things.
But that's not all—they're functional, too. I started out in the print industry, but I can also create beautiful, standards–compliant and user–friendly websites. I’m passionate about color, typography, and great design and my background in fine arts, business and marketing gives me a powerful skill set that I put to good use. I always love a good challenge, which means that I can't wait to learn new skills. Check out my resume and see for yourself.
