Showcase & Discover Creative Work

Hello. I am a graphic designer with a strong interest in all things visual. I love being creative and coming up with new ideas.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” Albert Einstein.
Branding, packaging, illustration, interface and advertising are my sweet spot in the design world. I have worked with Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and other programs such as Balsamiq, Mockingbird, CorelDraw, Word and Powerpoint. Editing video, getting down with the pen tool and sketching ideas are my favorite pastimes.
