Created UI and UX for web and mobile, identities and logos, social media and viral marketing campaigns, print communications, packaging, and branding. I have done iOS app design, creating my own titles plus working for mobile clients DabKick, Renkara, Striiv, and Snapstick. My experience includes design and illustration of icons, eCards, creative writing, and virtual gifts. I’ve crafted communications campaigns using social media, designed style guides, email promotions and newsletters, animated banners, storyboards, blogs, game UI, and online advertising. I’ve written award-winning books and taught digital imaging at The American Film Institute and information design at Art Center. I have experience mentoring talent, managing teams of creatives, and collaborating with engineers, product managers, and company visionaries.
