I like to paint walls too.

After several years of studio design and production experience, I started freelancing 7 years ago when my "after work-work" got in the way of my day job.
I have been steadily working ever since: mostly in print design; some illustration work; and inevitably–although I am not a web designer–I do a great deal of online-related work in the form of images, html email, online banners, and small websites. I feel incredibly lucky to be gainfully self-employed.
I have learned along the way that talent is only one skill of many that makes a successful designer. Taking direction as well as initiative (and the fine art of knowing when each approach is best); being reliable, detail oriented, flexible, and professional are equally critical. It's important to be someone with whom other people want to work.
The most fundamental component to being successful in a creative profession is to nurture the creative spirit. My personal artistic interests are currently in digital and mural painting.

Located in the Bay Area, California, I work with both local and geographically distant organizations, some of which I have yet to meet face-to-face.
