Objectives
be an agent of design
I am an experienced versatile designer with a knack for being a jack of all trades. I majored in Graphic Design at Art Center College of Design and have a Bachelors in English from the University of San Diego. After finishing school, I began working as a freelance graphic designer specializing in brand identities, presentations, and print production. For me, my creative process—no matter the project—is to dig deep into a niche and research what has already been, how things are done today, and why change is important. The next step is to ideate several iterations of a concept, I usually end up refining the one I find most thrilling. My ultimate mission is to create work that provokes people; work that moves people to think about what they are looking at beyond the literal.
My hobbies are working on my cars and taking analog photos of just about anything, yet I find myself shooting automobiles and car culture. I process, scan and print some of the film I shoot in my home darkroom so I have total control of the process. In the future I'd like to produce quarterly photo books and large format prints.
Experience

Over my time at Designory I worked on the following major accounts: Amazon, Sony Interactive Entertainment, 2K Games, LinkedIn, and HP. I was responsible for designing script driven photoshop templates for the global localization of marketing campaign assets. As the lead production artist I had a team of local and international production artists that I coordinated with in the London, Chicago, New York and Mexico City to divide work and hit target deadlines. Assets primarily consisted of IAB Banners with HTML5 animations and DOOH/OOH components as well as aspect ratio adaptations to bespoke dimensions. We also provided update-revision services on HP’s sell sheets, product catalogs, and internal presentations.
