A PASSION FOR VISUAL STORYTELLING

I've come to the realization that I'm a visual storyteller, and this is a great advantage when it comes to my chosen career. Every project, every job comes down to the same thing -- setting the tone and telling the story. 

Throughout the course of my career as a graphics artist I have had many wonderful opportunities to hone this skill.

SKILLS POINTING TO THE FUTURE

The future of the animation, interactive design, and illustration seem to be converging - which puts my experiences front-and-center.

That being said, I am constantly upgrading my skills with the latest tools in the ever-changing world of digital publishing.

 

CONCLUSION

I love my work -- I hope this is obvious.
