360º Design
I ask insightful questions and take creative leaps. I craft multi-layered, multi-item multimedia campaigns that tell their own story and seamlessly fit with the whole.
Layout
Successful layout is far more than just clever design. I make sure that multi-page documents tell a cohesive story and I quality control for dozens of individual components on each job. I work tirelessly to make sure that delivery is flawless, on time, and makes an impact.

Video Editing
I create videos with the skills of a designer, eyes of a stage director, the ears of a musician, and the timing of a dancer. Video editing is storytelling in many dimensions at once, and I love it.

Bio
I have a Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design from the College of New Jersey and a Masters Degree in Environmental Studies from Evergreen State College. I have been designing professionally for over twenty years.
And design is just one my passions.
Currently, I live on a small farm in rural southwestern Virginia with my wife, two amazing dogs, our three horses, and Geronimoo the Yard Cow.
I am a multi-instrument musician, a horse rider, and animal caretaker. I am a craftsman and a tinkerer, a fitness practitioner, a natural leader and a deep collaborator. I adore the outdoors and the natural world. I love jumping into the middle, working hard, figuring things out, and uncovering the joy.
I seek always to do well by people, personally and professionally. My Masters thesis focused on creating and sustaining professional groups that do transformative work, and I won the ERCA 2021 Dennis Chase Staff award for positivity, kindness, creativity, flexibility, and professionalism.
I am at my best when working for organizations whose work improves the lives of others and/or the world around them. Yet regardless of where I am designing, I am always giving my utmost to make sure that my work is good as it can possibly be.
