I'm an art director/designer who loves solving problems through visual communication. I believe even the most complex challenges can still be addressed by asking the right questions, paying attention to the responses and sketching out ideas on paper with a pencil. I'm looking to join a team of passionate, creative people who love helping businesses and individuals express their voices through the power of design.
