I have over 10 years of web and graphic design experience with a passion for innovative and high-end design solutions that include web applications, web sites and email campaigns in addition to traditional print advertising. I have worked on a wide range of web based projects from small and medium sized businesses to Fortune 500 companies. During that time I have broaden my skills to focus on usable interactivity within design and examining the flow of a site or application to create the best user experience.

My goal is to become an integral member of an intelligent creative team to learn from and grow my existing skills.
