HIRE ME

I've worked as a designer for the better part of the last decade. I've had the opportunity to be involved in the creation of signage programs, logo development, packaging, photo shoot art direction, and have expanded into digital design using HTML and CSS. I've also had extensive experience in production management and media negotiation.

I believe effectiveness trumps sexiness when it comes to design.

On a personal level, I get creative inspiration from pop culture, Constructivism, Swiss design, Japanese and Chinese art, as well as the visual style of 60s-80s films

I also enjoy Greek and Eastern philosophy, art books, computer magazines, newspapers, blogs, cereal boxes and the occasional cocktail napkin.

I'm currently seeking full-time employment, as well as looking to take on freelance projects. Please feel free to get in touch with me via the contact page or by emailing at the address found here.
