WHO AM I?
I'm a proud Twin-Cities-area native with a strong background in print, a touch of digital and social media talent, and a plethora of agency and freelance experience. At the core, I’m a sarcastic yet genuine Graphic Designer and Production Artist who not only enjoys what he does but is also continually focused on delivering solid execution to a borderline obsessive degree.
LEFT-BRAINED CREATIVE?
It's a term I've always used to describe myself and my philosophy
in regard to design. I acknowledged early in my career that my natural
approach is intensely logical and analytical—hence, originating from
a "left-brained creative" standpoint. While I may tend to operate inside the box more often than outside,
I've never considered this a shortcoming; rather, it's within
those confines that I find myself
most dangerously effective.
WHAT CAN I DO?
I bring much more to the table than any related job title might imply: my biggest strength is the variety of complementary skills
I've developed and honed working with an extensive list of
employers and clients. I excel
at multitasking and operating independently with a high
degree of accuracy and quality, but find I’m at my best in a kinetic atmosphere of
collaboration and teamwork.
