Additional Information
My professional work experience comes from my passion for the entire creative process. I love it when people respond to the visual media I worked hard to create. My first memories of my creativity are when I was a kid sitting in church drawing with crayons. While I don't use crayons much these days, I continue to appreciate hand crafted illustration and design. I have constantly challenged myself over the years and I continually look for inspiration from books, websites, movies and friends. I still like to draw and paint... print design is gratifying, but I really love video production and motion graphics. I continue to look at ways to grow and improve. I am happy to be busy working and doing something I love with the latest tech and industry toys in my hands. And yes, I still love to sit quietly and doodle in church.
