I’m a Graphic designer, animator with over 25 years of experience. I started as a graphic designer in print and now craft digital content across motion graphics, interactive media, illustration, and infographics. I’m a strong communicator who enjoys meeting new people and collaborating to produce amazing work. I take a can-do approach, ask the right questions at the outset, and tailor solutions to each brief. My grounding in design history gives me solid layout and structure, while practical experience across financial services to independent companies informs my flexible, problem-solving mindset. I work well with teams and clients alike.
