I am a creative thinker, a planner,
and a challenge seeker.

As a creative professional I believe that the broader the base of skills one has, the better equipped they are to be able to adapt to the changing environments and challenges, common to the creative field. Over my 15 year career, I've earned awards and recognition for creative solutions in web sites, logos, branding and collateral materials, multimedia presentations and in illustration.

This site was created to showcase and share my work and share my passion for creativity and communication with potential clients, fellow creative professionals, potential employers as well as family and friends.

My goal is to work in a creative and collaborative, agency or corporate environment, in which the full scope of my talents, strengths and years of experience can be put towards the development, growth and sustainment of successful products and brands.
