Objective

I design. I seek work that allows me to create, that pushes me toward resolution, and involves the visual, conceptual and usability design of the things we interact with on a daily basis. I want to create designed solutions that will make it easier for people to work, learn and play. I want to awaken their senses and kick-start their imaginations, and I want to work along side those who can challenge me through their own perceptions and experience. I also want to pass along my experience to others and educate as I learn.
