Function without form is engineering.
Form without function is fine art.
Graphic design lies somewhere between these two extremes.
The words above form the philosophy I discovered during my 12 years in the creative direction and design field. I present this site as a small sampling of my work.
I have worked in both traditional and new media, working for both large advertising agencies and directly with my clients. I also have expertise in marketing strategy and branding. My experience includes pharmaceuticals, aerospace, entertainment, education, fashion and manufacturing. My clients range from Fortune 500 companies to local small business.
