Hello

I am an Interactive Designer and Art Director in Portland, Oregon. With over a decade of experience, I have designed and directed everything from packaging and identities to advertising campaigns and digital experiences.

In the middle of my career, I returned to college to study interactive theory and digital media design. While holding a full-time position at Leopold Ketel and Partners and co-owning an indie record label, I graduated with high honors from the Art Institute of Portland and won the WebVisions Student Design Competition in 2004.

Since then, I have focused almost exclusively on interactivity and digital communication. I specialize in concept development, experience design and honest, strategic branding.

File me under:

  • Conceptual and strategic development
  • Design and art direction
  • Eager to explore new and interesting avenues of
    design and communication
  • Hand-crafted coding
  • Experience in audio and video production
