i'm a visual problem solver with a background in design, leadership, and making things fun.
i've managed art departments, taught design students, and wrestled with those pesky evil robots known as "printers."
i blend technical skill with visual and aural intuition... and even a little magic.
i'm someone who can make it happen... always striving to generate creative solutions that provide positive collaborations and shared, unique experiences.
