To me, great design is defined as more than the sum of its parts. In my professional life, I work towards that goal on a daily basis. I believe all designers hold within them the power to make this world a better place & at the very least, a better-looking place.

Some Talking Points (in case we ever meet)
On a photoshoot, I once stood in a room with $150 million dollars worth of irreplaceable furniture, and promptly bumped a table. Shh, don't tell Ann Getty.
I once had Metallica poster artwork grudgingly-but-still-approved by Lars on his Blackberry from Europe. Got paid with VIP tickets. Worth it.
I once *didn't travel to the Windy City and missed a chance to accept an AdAge award on stage, like at the Grammy's. D'oh.
On a trackfield, I once had to spray "fake sweat" glycerine on athletes-in-poses at the crack of dawn, coffee-in-hand, for a photoshoot. Worth it.
Once, in Hawaii, I had worked on a last-minute file that had also been worked on in all the previous American time zones as it traveled west from New York to Japan in order to be delivered on-time. It was.
Epic! I once worked 27 days straight when I was 27. Please don't ask me to work 36 days straight, I might do it.
I once met a client in the basement of a Chinatown bakery… and lived to tell about it.
